Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

The fourth term of an A.P. is 18. The sum of the fifth and seventh terms of the A.P. is 44. Find its common difference

2

Step

Let the first term of A.P.

\$ a \$

3

Step

Common difference

\$ d \$

4

Step

The fourth term of an A.P. is

\$ a_4 = 18\$

5

Formula:

The nth term of an A.P. is

\$a_n = a+(n-1)d\$

6

Step

The fourth term of an A.P. is

\$ a_4 = a + (4-1)d\$

7

Step

Substitute \$a_4\$ value

\$ 18 = a + 3d\$

8

Step

After simplification

\$ a = 18 - 3d -> (1)\$

9

Step

The sum of the fifth and seventh terms of the A.P. is

\$ a_5 + a_7 = 44\$

10

Step

After simplification

\$ a + 4d + a + 6d = 44\$

11

Step

After simplification

\$ 2a + 10d = 44\$

12

Step

After simplification

\$ \cancel2(a + 5d) = \cancel44^22\$

13

Step

After simplification

\$ a + 5d = 22\$

14

Step

After simplification

\$ a = 22 - 5d -> (2)\$

15

Step

From (1) and (2)

\$18 - 3d = 22 - 5d \$

16

Step

After simplification

\$5d - 3d = 22 - 18 \$

17

Step

After simplification

\$ \cancel2^1d = \cancel4^2 \$

18

Step

After simplification

\$ d = 2 \$
