Arithmetic Sequence

The value of the 20th term of this arithmetic series is 136

Explanation:

The first term of the arithmetic term is a = 3

and the common difference is d = 7

So the 20th term of this arithmetic progression is given by

an = a + (n-1) × d

where an is the nth term of the arithmetic progression

so for nth term, the value of n = 20

⇒ a20 = 3 + (20-1) × 7

⇒ a20 = 3 + 19 × 7

⇒ a20 = 3 + 133

⇒ a20 = 136

Hence ,the value of the 20th term of this arithmetic series is 136
