Answer 1

Hey friend!

__________________

Given , common difference = -4

Seventh term = 4

We know that ,

a7 = a + 6d

4 = a + 6(-4)

4 = a -24

a = 24+4

a = 28

Answer 2

✨✔️Question: In an AP, if the common difference is (-4) and seventh term is 4, then find the first term.

$\boxed{(a)n \:= \:a + \:( n-1 )\: * \:d}$

✔️✔️Answer:

Let us take n = 7
Therefore; (a)n => (a)7

Given that,
d = (-4)
(a)7 = 4

$(a)7 \: = \: a \: + \: (n - 1) \: \times d$

$4 \: = \: a \: + \: (7 - 1) \: \times \: ( - 4)$

$4 \: = \: a \: + \: ( - 24)$

$4 \: + \: 24 \: = \: a$

Therefore, a = 28.

First Term of the AP is 28.
