Answer:

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

Explanation:

the starting term for this pattern is 32 (which you will need to include in the "rule")

you also know that the next term is the previous term - 4

so!

we can write this pattern as

An = 32 - (4*(n-1))

An = any number of term in the pattern

- ex). A2 = 28, A3 = 24, etc

n = the nth term

- the 3rd term = 24, the fourth term = 20, etc
