@dreamermyrescuehorse,
The best way to solve this problem is to listen to some music while you read the textbook.

@dreamermyrescuehorse,
The usage of "common difference" implies it is an arithmetic sequence.
We can use the formula for an arithmetic sequence: Sn=(n(a1+an))/2, or Sn=(n(a1+d(n-1)))/2

a1=4, an=199, sn=4060
As an=199 and a1=4,
8120=n*(199+4)
n=40
199=d(n-1)=39d
d=5

Note: "I need work to be shown" implies this may be a homework problem. If you are a learner in a classroom setting, please consult your teacher before seeking help online; academic integrity guidelines vary depending on the educational institution.
