What is a3 of the arithmetic sequence for which a10 is 41 and a15 is 61

For the arithmetic sequence
a₁, a₂, a₃, ..., 
The n-th term is

where d = common difference.

Because a₁₀ = 41,
a₁ + 9d = 41                (1)

Because a₁₅ = 61
a₁ + 14d = 61             (2)

Subtract (1) from (2).
5d = 20
  d = 4
From (1), obtain
a₁ = 41 - 9*4 = 5

Therefore
a₃ = 5 + 2*4 = 13

 a₃ = 13

The answer is something i don’t know
