Answer:

f(n) = 10 + 3n

Explanation:

Each of the expressions has 10 + a certain number of 3's

For example for n = 3 we have
f(3) = 10 + 3 threes = 10 + 3 x 3 = 10 + 9 = 19

For n = 4, we have

f(4) = 10 + 4 threes = 10 + 4 x 3 = 10 + 12 = 22

The others follow the same pattern

So the explicit equation is

f(n) = 10 + 3n

Testing on n = 6 we get

f(6) = 10 + 6n = 10 + 6 x 3 = 10 + 18 = 28
