The first five terms of an arithmetic sequence are shown below: 20, 17, 14, 11, 8, . . .
Let n represent the term number and f(n) the term in the sequence.
Choose a function that represents the sequence.

The answer to this question is f(n) = -3 + 23

Now my question is, how do you find the solution? I was taught the explicit formula is f(n) = m(n) + b, but no matter how many times I've tried to plug in the numbers I cannot seem to get the right answer. Please help me and do show the entire process and the steps.
