Question 1043724
The fifth term of an arithmetic sequence is 9 
a + 8d = 9
----------------------
the 32nd term is -84. 
a + 31d = -84
------
Subtract and solve for "d"::
23d = -93
d = -4.04
------
Solve for "a"::
a = 9-8*-4.04 = 9+32.32 = 41.32
----------------------------------
What is the 23rd term?
a(23) = 41.32 + 22(-4.04) = -47.64
-------------
