hello, I was trying to find the nth term of iii and when I did my calculations, it didn't match up with the book.
nth term = 1+ (n-1) (1.5)
= 1+1.5n - 1.5
= 1.5n - 0.5 (What I got as answer)
instead the book's answer was nth term = 1/2(3n-1) which was different from my answer. Why is my answer different?

it's the same
1.5n - 0.5
= (3/2)n - (1/2)
= (1/2)(3n - 1)

it's the same
1.5n - 0.5
= (3/2)n - (1/2)
= (1/2)(3n - 1)
how did you get (3n-1)?

how did you get (3n-1)?
I factored out 1/2

I factored out 1/2
So like this? You add 1/2 again to make it the same?
