We can solve this using the formula nth term = a+(n-1)d
so the 10th term will be 87
75th term will be 132
and nth will be 9n-3

The 10th term is 87.

The 75th term is 678.

The nth term is 6 + 9(n - 1).

The given sequence is an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 9. This means that each term is 9 more than the previous term.

To determine the appropriate term number, we can use the formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence:

an = a1 + d(n - 1)

where:

an is the nth term

a1 is the first term (in this case, 6)

d is the common difference (in this case, 9)

n is the term number

We can plug in the given values to solve for n:

a10 = 6 + 9 (10 - 1)

a10 = 87

Therefore, the 10th term is 87.

As for the 75th term, we can simply plug n = 75 into the formula:

a75 = 6 + 9 (75 - 1)

a75 = 678

Therefore, the 75th term is 678.

Finally, to find the nth term, we can simply substitute n into the formula:

an = 6 + 9 (n - 1)

Therefore, the nth term is 6 + 9(n - 1).
