how do you do this? step by step?

Since it's arithmetic sequence try to find the common difference here
common difference is the difference of two consecutive terms
d = (a2 - a1) = (a3 - a2) = ......

can you explain? i’m not sure
like how would you apply it here
like would i just subtract 44 from 12?

Do you understand what arithmetic sequences are? @rose stream
Example of an arithmetic sequence:
2,4,6,8,10
We notice that there is a pattern. Every time, we add two. Thus, 2 is the common difference.
So the next terms in the sequence are 10+2,10+2+2 and so on.
Why is 2 a common difference? Because the difference between every consecutive term is 2.
2=4-2
2=6-4
2=8-6
....

i get it but it being to the fourth base is what throws me off. does it change anytjing?
i did this
it would be 76 and 108 right?
someone in a difference server said i needed to convert to base 10 but that makes no sense bc it’ll still be the same numbers
surreal pecan
Aren't the digits in base 4 -> 0,1,2 and 3?
But nonetheless.
12sub4 in base 10 would be:
1 x 4^1 + 2 x 4^0 = 4+2=6
surreal pecan
And 44sub4 would be:
4 x 4 + 4 x 4^0 = 20

but for the sequence it’s just adding 32?
because i don’t have to borrow
so i can still just subtract it normally right?
surreal pecan
but for the sequence it’s just adding 32?
Yeah.
rose stream
ok cool
surreal pecan
14 in base 4 is 32.

tysm
surreal pecan
20-6=14. Np.
surreal pecan
Yep.
