...the preceding case, the last term ll = 3-)-2 X 4, and subtracting the first term 3, we have 2 X 4, or the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one. Hence, to find the common difference, Divide the difference of the extremes by the number of terms... | |

...term is therefore equal to 27 less than the first, or 29 — 27 = 2. RULE. To the less extreme add the product of the common difference by the number of terms less one; or, subtract this product from the greater extreme; the result in either case will be the other extreme.... | |
