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

It can give you a pretty good idea of how many degrees everything is. for example if something was 13degrees, you would be able to make an estimate because you know how much one degree is.
