Solution:
4th term =a+3d
8th term =a+7d
sum of the 4th term and 8th term=a+3d+a+7d=24
⇒2a+10d=24
Take 2 common from the equation a+5d=12-----(1)
sum of the 6th term and 8th term=44
⇒a+5d+a+9d=44
2a+14d=44
Take 2 common from equation
a+7d=22------(2)
By elimination Method:-
a+5d=12
a+7d=22
--------------
2d=10
d=10/2
d=5
Substitute d=5 in equation (1)
a+5d=12
a+5(5)=12
a=12-25
a= -13
⇒The 1st 3 terms are :- -13,-13,+5,-13,+10
⇒-13,-8,-3.
