Given:
First term of an arithmetic sequence is 2.
Sum of first 15 terms = 292.5
To find:
The common difference.
Solution:
We have,
First term: 
Sum of first 15 terms: 
The formula of sum of first n terms of an AP is
![S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_n%3D%5Cdfrac%7Bn%7D%7B2%7D%5B2a%2B%28n-1%29d%5D)
Where, a is first term and d is common difference.
Putting , n=15 and a=2 in the above formula, we get
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[2(2)+(15-1)d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B2%282%29%2B%2815-1%29d%5D)
![292.5=\dfrac{15}{2}[4+14d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D%5Cdfrac%7B15%7D%7B2%7D%5B4%2B14d%5D)
![292.5=15[2+7d]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=292.5%3D15%5B2%2B7d%5D)
Divide both sides by 15.
Dividing both sides by 7, we get
Therefore, the common difference is 2.5.
3/8 times 8/3 = 1
Answer=8/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide two on both sides to get rid of it and the make the equation in the form y = mx + c
y = 3/2x + 5
since both lines are parallel they must have the same gradient which is 3/2
y = 3/2x + c
All you have to do now is to replace x and y with (2, -5) to find c
x = 2
y = -5
-5 = 3/2 × 2 + c
-5 = 3 + c
c = -5-3
c = -8
