If the sum of the first n terms of an Arithmetic Progression is equal to $n^2 + 3n$ then the first term of the Arithmetic Progression is
I tried to solve this question by putting sum of of $n^th$ term of an Arithmetic Progression that is $(nĂ·2)(2a+(n-1)d)$= $n^2+3n$ but won't end up with an answer.please help me.
