Answer:

<h3>             a₁ = -1</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

a_n=a_1+d(n-1)\\\\a_8=a_1+d\cdot7\\\\a_{20}=a_1+d\cdot19\\\\a_{20}-a_8=a_1+19d-(a_1+7d)=12d\\\\56-20=2d\\\\12d=36\\\\d=3\\\\\\ a_1+3\cdot7=20\\\\a_1=20-21=-1

If the clothing maker bought 500 m2 of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1tepiz=0.625dollar and 0.9144m=1yard.
Ivanshal [37]
1 yard^2 = 0.8361m^2.? 

<span>The solution to the problem is as follows:

So he spent (.625 x 400) = $250.00 per m^2. </span>
He paid out (500 x 250) = $125,000 on the deal. 
He received (500 / 0.8361) = 598.014592 yard^2 of fabric. 
That would have cost (598.014592 x 120) = $71,761.75 locally. 
He lost (125,000 - 71,761.75) = $53,238.25 on the deal. 

<span>You can rework with the incorrect conversion factor.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!
