Answer» Answer: HEY mate Step-by-step explanation: LET the smallest TERM be a and the COMMON difference be d. Then the four consecutive terms are a, a+d, a+2d and a+3d. The two terms on the end sum up to a+(a+3d) = 2a+3d and the two terms in the MIDDLE sum up to (a+d)+(a+2d)=2a+3d. Hence they are the same. |
