n\left(2a+\left(n-1\right)d\right)=212400
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
n\left(2a+nd-d\right)=212400
Use the distributive property to multiply n-1 by d.
2na+dn^{2}-nd=212400
Use the distributive property to multiply n by 2a+nd-d.
2na-nd=212400-dn^{2}
Subtract dn^{2} from both sides.
2na=212400-dn^{2}+nd
Add nd to both sides.
2an=-dn^{2}+dn+212400
Reorder the terms.
2na=212400+dn-dn^{2}
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{2na}{2n}=\frac{212400+dn-dn^{2}}{2n}
Divide both sides by 2n.
a=\frac{212400+dn-dn^{2}}{2n}
Dividing by 2n undoes the multiplication by 2n.
a=-\frac{dn}{2}+\frac{d}{2}+\frac{106200}{n}
Divide -dn^{2}+dn+212400 by 2n.
n\left(2a+\left(n-1\right)d\right)=212400
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2.
n\left(2a+nd-d\right)=212400
Use the distributive property to multiply n-1 by d.
2na+dn^{2}-nd=212400
Use the distributive property to multiply n by 2a+nd-d.
dn^{2}-nd=212400-2na
Subtract 2na from both sides.
\left(n^{2}-n\right)d=212400-2na
Combine all terms containing d.
\left(n^{2}-n\right)d=212400-2an
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(n^{2}-n\right)d}{n^{2}-n}=\frac{212400-2an}{n^{2}-n}
Divide both sides by n^{2}-n.
d=\frac{212400-2an}{n^{2}-n}
Dividing by n^{2}-n undoes the multiplication by n^{2}-n.
d=\frac{2\left(106200-an\right)}{n\left(n-1\right)}
Divide 212400-2na by n^{2}-n.
