OpenStudy (anonymous):

should it b -4 or 4 just wondering

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-14-(-18) = 4

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

it's the second from the first, not the other way round jimmy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats what i've done

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

second from first means first comes first. 2 from 4 means 4-2 :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no sorry second - first

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

i think common difference is an absolute value

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (sasogeek):

it's just the distance between any two consecutive pregressions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a, a+ d, a+ 2d ,a+ 3d d = (a+d) - a
