Answer:

  ay = 39 -6(n -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit formula for an arithmetic sequence can be written by using the first-term value and the common difference in the generic formula.

__

The generic formula for the n-th term of an arithmetic sequence is ...

  [tex]a_n=a_1+d(n-1)[/tex]

where a₁ is the first term of the sequence (39), and d is the difference between sequential terms (33-39 = -6).

Using the values for this sequence in the generic formula, we have ...

  ay = 39 -6(n -1)
