.
The first term is the first term
I think you can identify it without my help.

To calculate the common difference, distract the first term from the second.
But will you be able to identify the second term?
Also, can you distract one fraction from another?
Distract one integer number from another?

I don't know "why", but I believe you can.
Don't understand, however: If you can do all these things on your own, then for what reason did you send your request ?
