Answer:

The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first term is x.

The common difference is d.

The second term is x + d.

3rd term: x + 2d

4th term: x + 3d

7th term: x + 6d

"The fourth term of an Arithmetic Sequence is equal to 3 times the first term"

x + 3d = 3 * x       Eq. 1

"the seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1"

x + 6d = 2(x + 2d) + 1       Eq. 2

Simplify Eq. 1:

2x = 3d

Simplify Eq. 2:

x + 6d = 2x + 4d + 1

x = 2d - 1

Multiply both sides of the last equation by 2.

2x = 4d - 2

2x = 3d   (simplified Eq. 1)

Since 2x = 2x, then the right sides are equal.

3d = 4d - 2

d = 2

2x = 3d

2x = 3(2)

2x = 6

x = 3

Answer: The first term is 3. The common difference is 2.

dedylja [7]
