If in an AP (a_7=7x-8), (a_{15}=15x-48), and (a_{23}=23x-88), what is (a_{31})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(31x-128\)

The term indices increase by 8 each time. Hence, \(a_{15}-a_7=(15x-48)-(7x-8)=8x-40\), and \(a_{23}-a_{15}=8x-40\). Therefore, the next equal-step difference is also \(8x-40\). Thus, \(a_{31}=a_{23}+(8x-40)=23x-88+8x-40=31x-128\). The option \(31x-124\) results from an incorrect calculation of the constant term by 4. Exam tip: Terms separated by equal index gaps in an AP have equal differences.
