$t_{10} = -22 \ \text{ and } S_{10} = -85$

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

Explanation:

$t_1 = \text{first term} = 5\\t_2 = \text{first term}-3 = t_1 - 3 = 5-3 = 2$

Note we subtract 3 off the previous term (t1) to get the next term (t2). Each new successive term is found this way

$t_3 = t_2 - 3 = 2-3 = -1\\t_4 = t_3 - 3 = -1-3 = -4$

and so on. This process may take a while to reach $t_{10}$

There's a shortcut. The nth term of any arithmetic sequence is

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)$

We plug in $t_1 = 5 \text{ and } d = -3$ and simplify

$t_n = t_1+d(n-1)\\t_n = 5+(-3)(n-1)\\t_n = 5-3n+3\\t_n = -3n+8$

Then we can plug in various positive whole numbers for n to find the corresponding $t_n$ value. For example, plug in n = 2

$t_n = -3n+8\\t_2 = -3*2+8\\t_2 = -6+8\\t_2 = 2$

which matches with the second term we found earlier. And,

$tn = -3n+8\\t_{10} = -3*10+8\\t_{10} = -30+8\\t_{10} = \boldsymbol{-22} \ \textbf{ is the tenth term}$

---------------------

The notation $S_{10}$ refers to the sum of the first ten terms $t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_9, t_{10}$

We could use either the long way or the shortcut above to find all $t_1$ through $t_{10}$ . Then add those values up. Or we can take this shortcut below.

$Sn = \text{sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence}\\S_n = (n/2)*(t_1+t_n)\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(t_1+t_{10})\\S_{10} = (10/2)*(5-22)\\S_{10} = 5*(-17)\\\boldsymbol{S_{10} = -85}$

The sum of the first ten terms is -85

-----------------------

As a check for $S_{10}$ , here are the first ten terms:

t1 = 5
t2 = 2
t3 = -1
t4 = -4
t5 = -7
t6 = -10
t7 = -13
t8 = -16
t9 = -19
t10 = -22

Then adding said terms gets us...

5 + 2 + (-1) + (-4) + (-7) + (-10) + (-13) + (-16) + (-19) + (-22) = -85

This confirms that $S_{10} = -85$ is correct.

$\bf \qquad \qquad \textit{sum of a finite arithmetic sequence}\\\\
S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)\quad 
\begin{cases}
n=n^{th}\ term\\
a_1=\textit{first term's value}\\ a_n=n^{th}~value\\
----------\\
\stackrel{least}{a_1}=128\\\\
\stackrel{greatest}{a_n}=172

$\bf S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(128~+~172)\implies S_n=\cfrac{n}{2}(300)\implies S_n=150n

\textit{but we also know that sum of all interior angles is }180(n-2)
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{sum of the angles}}{S_n}=\stackrel{\textit{sum of the angles}}{180(n-2)}=150n

180n-360=150n\implies 30n=360\implies n=\cfrac{360}{30}\implies n=12$
