Hello!


The recursive rule for an arithmetic sequence: a_{n} = a_{n-1} + d.

The explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence: a_{n}=a_{1} +d(n-1).


a_{n} is the value you are trying to find, or simply the answer. :)

d is the common difference of the sequence.

a_{1} is the first term of the sequence.


Given, a_{1} = 8 and a_{n}=a_{n-1} - 6...

The common difference is -6, and the first term is 8.


Plug these values into the explicit rule for an arithmetic sequence, you get:

a_{n}=8+(-6)(n-1).


Therefore, the answer is A, a_{n}=8+(n-1)(-6).


If you wondered why, a_{n}=8+(-6)(n-1) is equal to a_{n}=8+(n-1)(-6), the Commutative Property of Multiplication states that when two numbers are multiplied together, the answer is the same regardless of the order of the numbers, which makes a_{n}=8+(-6)(n-1) and a_{n}=8+(n-1)(-6) equal to each other.
