  1. Answer:

    part 1

    n = 20

    d = 3

    so,

    a+(n-1)d is formula to find term .

    putting value in this formula

    a+ (20-1)3 = 59

    => a+ 19×3 = 59

    => a+ 57 = 59

    => a = 59-57

    => a = 2

    part 2

    a= 2

    d= 3

    n= 15

    so putting in a+(n-1)d

    2 + (15-1) 3

    => 2 + 14 × 3

    => 2+ 42

    44 is 15th term of an AP
