Write the general term of each arithmetic sequence by completing each steps given.
1.) 9,17,25,33,...
an = a1 + (n-1) d
an = __ + (n-1) (8)
an = 9 + ____ - 8
an = ___ + 9 - 8
General Term : an = __ + __
2.) 45,39,33,27,...
an = a1 + (n-1) d
an = __ + (n-1) (__)
an = __ + (___) (_)
an = __ + 45 + __
General Term : an = __ + __

To find the general terms of each arithmetic sequence we must fill in the blank and follow the step to get the general term of a arithmetic sequence.

As of, to identify the blank steps we must insert the indicated values as given above:
[tex]\sf\implies\: a_n = a_1 + (n -1)d \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies\: a_n = \underline{ \: \: 9 \: \: } + (n -1)8 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies\: a_n = 9 + \underline{ \: \: 8n \: \: } -8 \\ [/tex]
[tex]\sf\implies\: a_n = \underline{\:\:8n \:\:} + 9-8 \\\\ [/tex]
[tex] \qquad\sf\implies\: \bold{ General \: Term : \:\: \boxed{ \bold{\green{a_n = 8n + 1}}}} \\ [/tex]
