Answer:

a₂₀ = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

a₃ = 9

a₈ = 24

To find :-

a₂₀

Solving :-

Expand the given values.

a + 2d = 9 -(1)

a + 7d = 24 -(2)

Now subtract (1) from (2).

=> 5d = 15

=> d = 3

a = 9 - 2d

a = 9 - 6

a = 3

Final answer :-

a₂₀

= a + 19d

= 3 + 19(3)

= 3+ 57

= 60

a₂₀ = 60

Answer:

a₁ = 38

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AP, where:

8a₈ = 12a₁₂
d = -2,
a₁ = ?

=============

<h3>Solution</h3>

aₙ = a₁ + (n-1)d

a₈ = a₁ + 7d = a₁ + 7*(-2) = a₁ - 14
a₁₂ = a₁ + 11d = a₁ + 11*(-2) = a₁ - 22

8a₈ = 12a₁₂

8(a₁ - 14) = 12(a₁ - 22)
2(a₁ - 14) = 3(a₁ - 22)
2a₁ - 28 = 3a₁ - 66
3a₁ - 2a₁ = -28 + 66
a₁ = 38
