Answer:

[tex]a_{10}=124[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

In an arithmetic sequence, we are given that:

[tex]a_{17}=82\\d=-6[/tex]

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence, [tex]a_n=a+(n-1)d[/tex]

When n=17, [tex]a_{17}=82,d=-6[/tex], we have:

[tex]a_{17}=a+(17-1)(-6)[/tex]

82=a+(16)(-6)

82=a-96

a=82+96

a=178

Therefore, the 10th term of the sequence

[tex]a_{10}=178+(10-1)(-6)\\=178+9(-6)\\=178-54\\a_{10}=124[/tex]
