The 4th term of an arithmetic sequence is 28 and the 7th term is 43. Find the 79th term.
--------------
a + 3d = 28
a + 6d = 43
------
Subtract and solve for "d"::
3d = 15
d = 5
-------
Solve for "a":
a + 3d = 28
a + 15 = 38
a = 25
----------------
Ans: a(79) = a+78d = 25 + 78*5 = 25 = 350+40 = 398
------------------
