Question 1085431
.
<pre>
We are given

{{{7*a[7]}}} = {{{11*a[11]}}}.   ---->

{{{7*(a[1]+6d)}}} = {{{11*(a[1]+10*d)}}}  ---->

{{{(11*a[1]-7a[1])}}} + {{{(110d - 42d)}}} = 0  ---->

{{{4a[1]}}} + {{{68d}}} = 0  --->  (cancel the factor 4 in both sides)  ---->

{{{a[1] + 17d}}} = 0  --->

{{{a[18]}}} = 0.

QED.

Solved.
