Step-by-step explanation:
a1 = -5
a2 = -3
d = a2 - a1 = -3 -(-5) = 2
an = a + (n-1)d
therefore,
a30 = -5 + (30-1)2
= -5 + (29)2
= 58 - 5
= 53
a30 = 53
similarly,
a20 = -5 + (20-1)2
= -5 + (19)2
= 38 - 5
= 33
a20 = 33
So, difference between 30th term and 20th term is a30 - a20
= 53 - 33
= 20
Thus, difference between 30th and 20th term is 20.
