Answer:

aₙ = 12.5 - 1.5(n - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the general equation

aₙ = a₁ + d(n - 1)

aₙ is the term we want

a₁ is the first term (12.5)

d is the common difference (-1.5) as we go through the sequence we see a common difference of -1.5

n is the term number (if we wanted the third term n would be 3)
