\n" ); document.write( "Arithmetic Sequence with a = 3 and d = -2/3
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve:: a + (n-1)d = -17
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3 + (n-1)(-2/3) = -17
\n" ); document.write( "(n-1)(-2/3) = -20
\n" ); document.write( "(n-1) = -20/(-2/3)
\n" ); document.write( "n-1 = 30
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: n = 31st term
