Answer: a1=6

An = An-1 - 4

Explanation:

N represent what number in the sequence you choose. So in the equation n-1 would be the umber in the equation subtracting 1 then subtracting the difference. The factor you are multiplying by in this sequence is -4. You find the difference by taking any number in the sequence and dividing it by the previous number in the sequence.
