Answer:

The equation for nth term is 3n + 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a1 be a,

a3 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 14 = a + (3 - 1)d

so, 14 = a + 2d

Now,

a5 = a + (n - 1)d

or, 20 = a + (5 - 1)d

or, 20 = a + 4d

now,

a + 4d = 20

a + 2d = 14

now,

a + 4d - ( a + 2d) = 20 - 14

or, a + 4d - a - 2d = 6

or, 2d = 6

so, d = 3

Now,

a + 2d = 14

or, a + 2(3) = 14

or, a = 14 - 6

so, a = 8

Now,

an = a + (n - 1)d

or, an = 8 + (n - 1)3

or, an = 8 + 3n - 3

so, an = 3n + 5
