Answer:

The answer is 6 - 6n

Explanation:

For an nth term in an arithmetic sequence

U(n) = a + (n - 1)d

Where n is the number of terms

a is the first term

d is the common difference

From the above sequence

a = 0

d = - 6 - 0 = - 6

An nth term of the above sequence is

U(n) = 0 + (n - 1)-6

= - 6n + 6

The final answer is

= 6 - 6n

Hope this helps you.
