Answer :

Arithmetic sequence is modeled by the next formula:

[tex]a_n=a_1+(n-1)\cdot d[/tex]

where an is the nth term, a1 is the first term, and d is the common difference.

In the case of the first sequence:

[tex]a_n=1+(n-1)\cdot4[/tex]

In the case of the second sequence:

[tex]a_n=1+(n-1)\cdot5[/tex]

The 6th term of the first sequence is:

[tex]a_6=1+(6-1)\cdot4=21[/tex]

The 5th term of the second sequence is:

[tex]a_5=1+(5-1)\cdot5=21[/tex]

The 11th term of the first sequence is:

[tex]a_{11}=1+(11-1)\cdot4=41[/tex]

The 9th term of the second sequence is:

[tex]a_9=1+(9-1)\cdot5=41[/tex]

Therefore, the first three common terms are: 1, 21, and 41. And the sum of them is 63
