Given the sequence:
 25, 21, 17, 13,...
Write the explicit equation that models the sequence.

• a_n = 4n + 29
• a_n = -4n + 25
• a_n = -4n + 29
• a_n = 4n + 25

Given the sequence:

25, 21, 17, 13,...

Write the explicit equation that models the sequence.

• a_n = 4n + 29

• a_n = - 4n + 25

• a_n = - 4n + 29

• a_n = 4n + 25
