Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

tn = a1 + (n-1)* d

Givens

tn = 67 (it is the last term or the nth term

n = 10

a1 = 4

find d

Solution

67 = 4 + (10 - 1)*d

67 = 4 + 9*d               Subtract 4 from both sides

67 - 4 = 9d            

63 = 9d                      Divide by 9

63/9 = 9d/9              

7  = d

Remark: This is a fundamental application of the arithmetic sequence. You pretty much have to know how to juggle it's parts.
