The first, third and ninth terms of a linear sequence are the first three terms of an exponential sequence. If the seventh term of the linear sequence is 14 calculate the twentieth term of the linear sequence and the sum of the first twelve terms of the exponential sequence

since GP's have a common ratio,
r = (a+2d)/a = (a+8d)/(a+2d)
a+6d = 14
So, solve for a and d, and then find
a+19d
S12 = a(r^12 - 1)/(r-1)

I want this question solved in fully understandable, but where they wrote 14 is 4 so the 14 is error
