T2 = 7
S4 = 12

7 = a + 6d
a = 7 - 6d

12 = 2 ( 2(7-6d) +3d )
6 = 14 - 12d + 3d
9d = 8
d = 8/9

a = 7 - 6(8/9)
a = 1/2/3

Are you sure its Arithmetic?  

There isn't a way to solve this, that sum of the first four terms has got me a little screwed up.

the formula you want to use is this:

An=A1+D(N-1)

A1 is the first term of the sequence D is a common difference and N is the term of the sequence.

7= 1 + 6 (2-1) 

that's the only way, so let's plug it in for the first one 3rd and 4th 

A1= 1 + 6 (1-1)
A1=1

A3= 1 + 6 (3-1)
A3=13

A4= 1 + 6 (4-1) 

A4=19


that's as far as I can help, though.

A circle is a geometric object that has symmetry about the vertical and horizontal lines through its center. When the circle is a unit circle (of radius 1) centered on the origin of the x-y plane, points in the first quadrant can be reflected across the x- or y- axes (or both) to give points in the other quadrants.

That is, if the terminal ray of an angle intersects the unit circle in the first quadrant, the point of intersection reflected across the y-axis will give an angle whose measure is the original angle subtracted from the measure of a half-circle. Since the measure of a half-circle is π radians, the reflection of the angle π/6 radians will be the angle π-π/6 = 5π/6 radians.

Reflecting 1st-quadrant angles across the origin into the third quadrant adds π radians to their measure. Reflecting them across the x-axis into the 4th quadrant gives an angle whose measure is 2π radians minus the measure of the original angle.
