Answer:

n = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{1}[/tex] + (n - 1)d

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 3 + 7(n - 1) (for the first AP)

[tex]a_{n}[/tex] = 63 + 2(n - 1) ( for the second one)

3 + 7(n - 1) = 63 + 2(n - 1)

3 + 7n - 7 = 63 + 2n - 2

5n = 65

n = 13

Answer:

n = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

AP = 2, 10, 17 ...

AP1  = 63,65, 67

Find the general term of AP

L = a + (n - 1)*d

a = 2

d = 7

Find the general term of AP1

L = 63 + (n - 1)*d

a  = 63

d = 2

Equation to equate both of them

L = 3 + (n-1)7

L1 = 63 + (n - 1)*2

Equate L and L1

2 + (n - 1)*7= 63 + (n-1)*2           Subtract 3 from both sides

(n - 1)*7 = 63 - 3 + (n - 1)*2         Remove the brackets

7n - 7 = 60 + 2n - 2                   Combine the like terms on the right

7n -  7 = 58 + 2n                        Subtract 2n from both sides

7n - 2n -7 = 58                          Add 7 to both sides

5n = 58 +7                                Divide by 5

n =   65/5

n = 13

So the 13th term on each series is equal.

L_13 = 3 + (13 - 1)*7

L_13 = 3 + (12)*7

L_13 = 87

=====================

L'_13 = 63 + (13 -1 ) * 2

L'_13 = 63 + 12*2

L'_13 = 87
