Expert Answer:
We know that the common difference is given as '3'.
Let 'd' be the common difference, 'a' be the first term, so the nth term is written as 
We will have to find 
Applying the formula, the above expression becomes,
(a+19d) - (a+14d)
= a + 19d - a - 14d
= 5d
This finally becomes
5 x 3
=15
