Answer: first term = 6

Common difference = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Eight term =a +(n-1)d = a +(8-1)d = a + 7d

Third term = a+(n-1)d = a + (3-1)d =a + 2d

a + 7d = 2(a + 2d)

a + 7d = 2a + 4d

7d - 4d = 2a - a

a = 3d

The fifth term is equal to 14. This is:

a + 4d = 14

Put the value of a into the equation here

3d + 4d = 14

7d = 14

d = 14/7

d = 2

Recall that a + 4d = 14

a + 4(2) = 14

a + 8 = 14

a = 14 - 8

a = 6

What’s the answer please
skad [1K]

Answer:

h  ≤ 124 / 9

or

h  ≤ 13.78

Step-by-step explanation:

(3/4) (12h - 32) ≤ 100      (multiply both sides by 4)

(3) (12h - 32) ≤ 100 (4)

(3) (12h - 32) ≤ 400   (distribute 3 into the parenthesis)

(12h)(3) - (32)(3) ≤ 400   (expand left side terms)

36h - 96 ≤ 400   (add 96 to both sides)

36h  ≤ 400  + 96

36h  ≤ 496  (divide both sides by 36)

h  ≤ 496 / 36   (sinmplify)

h  ≤ 124 / 9

or

h  ≤ 13.78
