What is the question?

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

an = a1 + (n-1)d is the formula for an arithmetic progression. It tells you that if you're trying to find the sumof so many numbers, that there is going to be a certain difference in numbers. the difference can be found by subtracting the preceding term by the previous term or adding a certain amount of numbers to the previous term to get the term after.

OpenStudy (jhannybean):

So a (or a1) is the vaue of the first term n= number of terms you're looking for d=common difference between each term. an = the nth number of the term in the sequence.
