Find 4 consecutive terms in an AP such that their sum is -40 and the sum of first and third term is -18​

Answer» ET three NUMBERS be a - d, a, a + d

given

a - d + a + a + d = 21

3a = 21

∴a=7

(a + d) (a - d) a = 315

=(7+d)(7−d)×7=315

=(7

)=45

=7

=4=d

2

d=±2

numbers are

7 - 2 , 7 , 7 + 2

= 5 , 7 , 9

Step-by-step explanation:

A] Let three numbers be a - d, a, a + d

given

a - d + a + a + d = 21

3a = 21

∴a=7

(a + d) (a - d) a = 315

=(7+d)(7−d)×7=315

=(7
