a(b-c) you can see the a term going 1,2,3 no? b term going 8,10,12,14 and etc. by the multiplication of 2 and c term going -7,-8,-9,-10

OpenStudy (amz99):

oh oh oh yes thank youu @LXelle

OpenStudy (lxelle):

As for the 10th term you're definitely not gonna count like crazy right? You use the formula Tn= a+(n-1)d}

OpenStudy (lxelle):

Same goes for the nth term they ask in ii)
