We have the arithmetic sequence of 18, 12, 6 , 0

Firstly, let us find the common difference

from the sequence

12 - 18 = -6

6 - 12 = -6

0-6 = -6

Therefore, the common difference for the sequence is -6

The recursive formula is an + 1 = an + d

an is the number of term

an + 1 = an + (-6)

an + 1 = an - 6

The answer is

an + 1 = an - 6
