    F (n+1) = f (n) - 8

    f (1) = 100

    try with n = 1

    f (1+1) = f (1) - 8

    f (2) = 100 - 8

    f (2) = 92

    try with n = 0

    f (0+1) = f (0) - 8

    f (1) = f (0) - 8

    100 = f (0) - 8

    100 + 8 = f (0) - 8 + 8

    108 = f (0)

    so we know that

    f (0) = 108

    f (1) = 100

    f (2) = 92

    the bigger function you have, you need to - 8

    so

    f (3) = 84

    f (4) = 76

    f (5) = 68

    f (6) = 60

    so f (6) = 60
