Isabelle is going to rewrite each subtraction statement as an addition statement by "adding the opposite". She has completed the first
statement so far. Help her represent the remaining subtraction statements as addition statements.
b.2-(-19)
c. -28 - 10
d. - 15 - (-7)
e. 35 - 12
a. -5 - 12
-5 + (-12)

Sum of 5th & 8th terms of an AP = 37

11th term = 32

A.P

We know that,

nth term of an AP – an = a + (n - 1)d

Hence,

⟹ a₅ + a₈ = 37

⟹ a + (5 - 1)d + a + (8 - 1)d = 37

⟹ 2a + 4d + 7d = 37

⟹ 2a + 11d = 37 -- equation (1)

Similarly,

⟹ a₁₁ = 32

⟹ a + (11 - 1)d = 32

⟹ a + 10d = 32

⟹ a = 32 - 10d

Substitute the value of a in equation (1).

⟹ 2(32 - 10d) + 11d = 37

⟹ 64 - 20d + 11d = 37

⟹ 64 - 37 = 20d - 11d

⟹ 27 = 9d

⟹ 27/9 = d

⟹ 3 = d

Substitute the value of d in equation (1).

⟹ 2a + 11(3) = 37

⟹ 2a + 33 = 37

⟹ 2a = 37 - 33

⟹ 2a = 4

⟹ a = 4/2

⟹ a = 2

Now,

General form of an ap = a , a + d , a + 2d...

⟶ Required AP = 2 , 2 + 3 , 2 + 2(3)...

⟶ Required AP = 2 , 5 , 2 + 6...

⟶ Required AP = 2 , 5 , 8...

I hope it will help you.

Regards.
