Answer:

a₁ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AP, where:

  • 8a₈ = 12a₁₂
  • d = -2,
  • a₁ = ?

=============

<h3>Solution</h3>

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

  • a₈ = a₁ + 7d = a₁ + 7*(-2) = a₁ - 14
  • a₁₂ = a₁ + 11d = a₁ + 11*(-2) = a₁ - 22

8a₈ = 12a₁₂

  • 8(a₁ - 14) = 12(a₁ - 22)
  • 2(a₁ - 14) = 3(a₁ - 22)
  • 2a₁ - 28 = 3a₁ - 66
  • 3a₁ - 2a₁ = -28 + 66
  • a₁ = 38

Please do this correct if inappropriate then report and no LINKS and also will do brainly
Nuetrik [128]
Mean=87.5
Median=88
Mode=79,85,86,90,92,93 so technically all the numbers show are the mode cause they all repeat 1 time but if there were two of the same number that would be the mode cause there’s two and not one so you always go by which one repeats more!
