Final Answer: 19.5%
From the problem :

In multiplying expressions with the same bases, the exponent will be added accordingly.
For example :

the exponent of a are m and n, and the product will be a raised to the sum of m and n.
Applying this to the problem, we have :

The answer is d. 6^-1
First term is -7, so a_1 = -7
To get the next term, we add on 4. We can see this if we subtract like so
d = (2nd term) - (1st term) = (-3) - (-7) = -3+7 = 4
So d = 4 is the common difference.
Apply a_1 = -7 and d = 4 to get...
a_n = a_1 + d*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + 4*(n-1)
a_n = -7 + (n-1)*4
