a+d + a+5d = 4
2a + 6d = 4 or
a + 3d = 2
a+2d = a+6d + 24
-4d = 24
d = -6
back in a+3d=2
a -18 = 2
a = 20
so term(n) = a + (n-1)(d)
= 20 + (n-1)(-6)
= 20 - 6n + 6
= 26 - 6n
check: according to my formula
term(2) = 26-12 = 14
term(6) = 26-6(6) = -10 , and their sum is 4 , yeahhh
term(3) = 26-6(3) = 8
term(7) = 26-6(7) = -16
is 8 greater than -16 by 24 ? yes, Yeahhh
Deternine the formula of the nth term of the sequence if the sum of the second and sixth terms of an arithmetic sequence is 4.the third term is 24 more than the leventh tern
