Pls just write down a step by step process of what to do, dont just give me the answer

Answer 1

well what do u think

Answer 2

I'm not sure, I've been working on this question for almost TWO DAYS and i can't figure anything out, I do a homeschooling program so i can't just raise my hand and ask the teacher unless all of a sudden my mom knows how to do this so that's why I came here, I just need someone to give me the process of what to do then I can figure the rest out. And not to be rude, but i told you that I don't know and that's why I am asking one of you guys, so I don't know why you felt the need to ask me what I thought, I just need an answer from someone on how to go about finding the answer.

Answer 3

well, if the sequece starts at n = 1 and continues to n = 4
then
1(0) -5 = -5
2(1)-5 = -3
3(2)-5 = 1
4(3)-5 = 7 etc
