Arithmetic Sequence Equation to Linear Equation

Now that we have found both the common difference and the first term of our sequence (6, 9, 12, 15, ...), we can write an EXPLICIT FORMULA for the arithmetic sequence. Formula: a_n=a_1+d(n-1) Hint: a_1= first term & d= common difference

What is the tenth term in the arithmetic sequence:

12, 19, 26, 33, ...

Hint: Find the common difference and then either continue the pattern or write and use an explicit formula.
