You can put this solution on YOUR website! determine the first three terms of the arithmetic progression of which :
the 4th term is -13 and the 7th term is -25
-----
Equations:
a + 3d = -13
a + 6d = -25
-----
Subtract and solve for "d":
3d -12
d = -4
------
Solve for "a":
a + 3d = -13
a + 3*-4 = -13
a = -1
----
1st 4 terms: -1, -1+-4 = -5 ; -5+-4 = -9
