Explanation:
There are a few approaches. Here's one way to solve.
Let d be the common difference between the terms.
We add d to each term of this arithmetic sequence to get the next term.
First term = mSecond term = 12 = m+dThird term = n = (m+d)+d = m+2dFocusing on the second equation, we can solve for d like so
m+d = 12
d = 12-m
This is then plugged into the third equation
n = m+2d
n = m+2(12-m)
n = m+24-2m
n = 24-m
Therefore,
m+n = m+(24-m) = 24
It turns out that it doesn't matter what m and n are because m+n is always equal to 24 in this case.
A more concrete example:
Let's say m = 2. We won't set up n just yet but we'll be able to compute it fairly soon.
Since m = 2, this means d = 12-m = 12-2 = 10. This is the gap between adjacent or neighboring terms.
If d = 10, then the third term must be n = 12+d = 12+10 = 22
We can then see that m+n = 2+22 = 24
I'll do another example:
m = 5
d = 12-m = 12-5 = 7
n = 12+d = 7 = 19
m+n = 5+19 = 24
Whenever in doubt, or if you get stuck, it helps to come up with actual numeric values to hopefully clear things up.
An alternative way to get the
Let's try to determine what m+n is actually saying. We have 12 right in the middle of the first term (m) and third term (n). Because the gap between the numbers is the same (that being d), we know that 12 is the midpoint of m and n. It might help to draw out a number line to see what's going on.
The midpoint of m and n is (m+n)/2
Set this equal to 12 and isolate the "m+n"
(firstTerm+thirdTerm)/2 = second term
(m+n)/2 = 12
m+n = 2*12
m+n = 24
So in general, if the first three terms of the arithmetic sequence are m, k, n, then m+n = 2k.
