An= mth term.
an=a₁+(n-1)*d
a₁₂=41
a₁₅=140
a₁₂=41
41=a₁+(12-1)*d
41=a₁+11d
a₁+11d=41 (1)
a₁₅=140
140=a₁+(15-1)*d
140=a₁+14d
a₁+14d=140 (2)
With the equiations (1) and (2) build a system of equations
a₁+11d=41
a₁+14d=140
we solve it.
-(a₁+11d=41)
a₁+14d=140
--------------------
3d=99 ⇒d=99/3=33
a₁+11d=41
a₁+(11*33)=41
a₁+363=41
a₁=41-363=-322
an=a₁+(n-1)*d
an=-322+(n-1)*33
an=-322+33n-33
an=-355+33n
an=-355+33n
To check:
a₁₂=-355+33*12=-355+396=41
a₁₅=-355+33*15=-355+495=140.
I'm kind of thrown off for that negative sign, but I try it out in the one that makes sense is this one [ https://gyazo.com/192a76e70d2d46979691cabbf06e6c85 ] If you can better of explain where the negative sign will be great. Hope I helped.
The answer to your question is -5/12. I hope this helps!
