use your two formulas for the general term of an AP and the sum of terms of an AP
a+3d + a+7d = 24 ----> 2a + 10d = 24
and
6/2[2a + 5d] + 10/2[2a+9d] = 44
now solve these two equations in two unknowns
a+3d + a+7d = 24 ----> 2a + 10d = 24
and
6/2[2a + 5d] + 10/2[2a+9d] = 44
now solve these two equations in two unknowns
