Answer:

The first term is 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

The common difference is 142 - 140 = 2 so we have

50th term = a1 + 2(50 -1) = 140 where a1 is the first term

a1 + 98 = 140

a1 = 140 - 98 = 42.

Answer:

$\frac{5}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{30}{36} = \frac{10}{12} \\ = \frac{5}{6}$
