In arithmetic progression , when we use s=n/2 [2a+(n-1)d] then why use a=(n-1)d formula?

In the formula S = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)
We have a as the first term
Second term = a+d
Third term = 2a+d
Fourth term = 3a+d
.
.
.
Nth term = (n-1)a + d
 
Sum of n terms is S = a + a+d + 2a+d + 3a+d + ... + (n-1)a = n/2(2a + (n-1)d)
