PLEASE HELP Find the common difference

The common difference is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

3rd term (a3) = 0

Common difference (d) =.?

From the question given, we were told that the 7th term (a7) and the 4th term (a4) are related by the following equation:

a7 – 2a4 = 1

Recall:

a7 = a + 6d

a4 = a + 3d

a3 = a + 2d

Note: 'a' is the first term, 'd' is the common difference. a3, a4 and a7 are the 3rd, 4th and 7th term respectively.

But, a3 = 0

a3 = a + 2d

0 = a + 2d

Rearrange

a = – 2d

Now:

a7 – 2a4 = 1

Substituting the value of a7 and a4, we have

a + 6d – 2(a + 3d) = 1

Sustitute the value of 'a' i.e –2d into the above equation, we have:

–2d + 6d – 2(–2d + 3d) = 1

4d –2(d) = 1

4d –2d = 1

2d = 1

Divide both side by 2

d = 1/2

Therefore, the common difference is 1/2

***Check:

d = 1/2

a = –2d = –2 x 1/2 = –1

a3 = 0

a3 = a + 2d

0 = –1 + 2(1/2)

0 = –1 + 1

0 = 0

a7 = a + 6d = –1 + 6(1/2) = –1 + 3 = 2

a4 = a + 3d = –1 + 3(1/2) = –1 + 3/2

= (–2 + 3)/2 = 1/2

a7 – 2a4 = 1

2 – 2(1/2 = 1

2 – 1 = 1

1 = 1

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

(0.2)+(-8)=0.3+-3+0.3m is the equation i guess? ?
