Step-by-step explanation:
An = A + (n - 1)d
We have An = 81, d = -3 and n = 18.
Hence A = An - (n - 1)d = 81 - (17)(-3) = 132.
Substitute the given values into the equation
81= a+-3{18-1]
Solve the brackets
81= a-3[17]
81= a-51
Move 51 to the other side as a positive number
81+51 is 139
Therefore, a is equal to 139
81= a+-3{18-1]
Solve the brackets
81= a-3[17]
81= a-51
Move 51 to the other side as a positive number
81+51 is 139
Therefore, a is equal to 139
