a + 2 d = (3/4)[ a + 5d ]
and
2 a + 7 d = 60
------------------------
(1/4 a -7/4 d = 0
or
1 a - 7 d = 0
2 a + 7 d = 60
------------------- add
3 a = 60
a = 20
d = 20/7
an = 20 + (n-1)(20/7)
and
2 a + 7 d = 60
------------------------
(1/4 a -7/4 d = 0
or
1 a - 7 d = 0
2 a + 7 d = 60
------------------- add
3 a = 60
a = 20
d = 20/7
an = 20 + (n-1)(20/7)
