IF THE 6TH TERM OF A SERIES IS 24 AND THE COMMON DIFFERENCE IS 3 FIND THE SERIES
Answered by mathhelper
Comparing how easy this question is vs the other one you posted, my suspicion that you had a typo in your other post stands.

Here:
Since you are using the term "common difference" we can assume that your series is arithmetic.
a + 5d = 24, and d = 4, so
a + 20 = 24
a = 4
your series is
4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + 20 + 24 + ....

Hey mathhelper I think you misread the part where the question stated that D=3.
The solution for the following question will be like this:-
a+5d=24
since d=3 we write:-
a+5(3)=24
a+15=24
a=9.
The sequence for the following question will be:-
9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24,...
