The common difference is equal to d = \"%28a%5B3%5D+-+a%5B1%5D%29%2F%283+-+1%29\" = \"%2818+-+4%29%2F2+\" = \"7\". The nth term is \"a%5Bn%5D+\" = \"a%5B1%5D+%2B+%28n+-+1%29d\" = \"4+%2B+%28n-1%29%287%29+\" = \"7n+-+3\".
\n" ); document.write( "The 23rd term is \"a%5B23%5D+=+7%2823%29+-+3+=+highlight%28158%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
