Answer:

aₙ = 31n -  5

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of your sequence are.

26, 57, 88, …

This is an arithmetic sequence, because there is a constant difference of 31 between consecutive terms.

The explicit formula for the nth term of an arithmetic sequence is

aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1 )

a₁ is the first term, and d is the difference in value between consecutive terms. Thus,  

aₙ = 26 + 31(n - 1) = 26 + 31n - 31

aₙ = 31n - 5

The explicit rule for the arithmetic sequence is aₙ = 31n - 5.
