What is the first term for an arithmetic sequence with a12 = 56 and a21=101?

The first term is -43.

Explanation:

an = a + (n - 1)d

a12 = a + 11d = 56, first equation
a21 = a + 20d = 101, second equation

Subtract the second equation from the first equation, cancelling +a and -a
11d - 20d = 56 - 101
-9d = -45
d = 5

Subtitute d into the first equation
a + 99 = 56
a = -43

a refers to the first term, hence the first term is -43.

How do you solve thus ? 8=8v-4(v+8)
Harrizon [31]
8 = 8v - 4 (v + 8)

Distribute the 4 through the parentheses

8 = 8v - 4v - 32

combine like terms

8 = 4v - 32

add 32 to both sides

8 + 32 = 4v -32 + 32

combine like terms

40 = 4v

divide each side by 4

40/10 = v

4 = v

v= 4
