Question 378345: Write a rule for the nth term of the arithmetic sequence that has the 2 given terms.
A(20)=240, A(15)=170
I understand how to write a rule for a sequence using the A(n)=A(1)+(n-1)d, but I do not understand how to get a rule without having the first term and common difference. Any help is really appreciated!
