If the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is 9 and the sum of the first 2n terms is 12, then the sum of the first 3N terms is?

If the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is 9 and the sum of the first 2n terms is 12, then the sum of the first 3N terms is?

The method is simple
Sn, s2n Sn, s3n-s2n form arithmetic sequence
SO 2 (s2n SN) = Sn + (s3n-s2n)
So s3n = 3 (s2n SN) = 3 (12-9) = 9
