Answer:-

18th term of A.P. = 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, 13th term = 39 and 23th term = 69.

a + 12d = 39

a + 22d = 69.

From the above two equations, we can deduce, we get d = 3.

−10d = −30

d = 3. [subtracting both equations]

Substituting 'd' = 3 in either equation, will give 'a'.

a + 12d = 39
a + 12(3) =39
a + 36 = 39
a = 39-36
a = 3

First term 'a' = 3.

t18 = a + 17d

t18 = 3 + 17(3)

t18 = 54.

18th term of the A.P. = 54.

Given,

13th term of an AP = 39

23rd term of the AP = 69

To find,

The 18th term of the AP.

Solution,

We can easily solve this problem by following the given steps.

According to the question,

We have:

13th term of an AP = 39

23rd term of the AP = 69

We know that the following formula is used to find the nth term of an AP:

an = a+(n-1)d where a is the first term, n is the number of the term and d is the common difference

a13 = 39

a+(13-1)d = 39

a+12d = 39 ---(1)

Now, we have:

a23 = 69

a+(23-1)d = 69

a+22d = 69 ---(2)

Now, subtracting equation 1 from equation 2,

a+22d-a-12d = 69-39

10d = 30

d = 30/10 (10 was in the multiplication on the left-hand side. So, it is in the division on the right-hand side.)

d = 3

Putting the value of d in equation 1,

a+12d = 39

a+12(3) = 39

a+36 = 39

a = 39-36

a = 3

So,

a18 = a+(18-1)d

a18 = a+17d

Putting the value of a and d,

a18 = 3+17(3)

a18 = 3+51

a18 = 54

Hence, the 18th term of the AP is 54.
