Answer:

The first term is -331/4

The common difference is 49/4

Step-by-step explanation:

t8  =3 and

t12=52

t8 = a + 7d = 3 --(1)

t12 = a + 11d = 52 --(2)

from eq.--(1)

a + 7d = 3

a = 3 - 7d--(3)

Put value of a in eq.--(2)

3 - 7d + 11d = 52

4d = 52 - 3

4d = 49

d = 49/4

Now put d in eq.--(3)

a = 3 - 7(49/4)

   = (12 - 343)/4

  = -331/4
