    To find the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence, we can use the formula:

    nth term = first term + (n – 1) * common difference

    Given: First term (a) = 10 Common difference (d) = 4 n = 12 (we want to find the 12th term)

    Using the formula, we can calculate the 12th term as follows:

    12th term = 10 + (12 – 1) * 4 = 10 + 11 * 4 = 10 + 44 = 54

    Therefore, the 12th term of the arithmetic sequence is 54.
