Alternate solution

The equation for the general term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  an = a1 +d(n -1) . . . . . for first term a1 and common difference d

Your sequence has first term 75 and common difference -6, so the equation is ...

  an = 75 -6(n -1)

Then for n=5, the term is ...

  a5 = 75 -6(5 -4) = 75 -24 = 51

The 5th term is 51.
