The second term of an arithmetic sequence is $-21$, the fifth term is $21$. How many of the first consecutive terms do we have to add up to get a sum of more than $50$?
The sum of the first ten terms of an arithmetic sequence with odd subscripts is $190$, the sum of the first ten terms with even subscripts is $230$. Find the first term.

Question:
Find the $5$th term of the given arithmetic sequence, where $a_n$ is its $n$th term, $d$ is its common difference, and $s_n$ is the sum of the first $n$ terms of this sequence.
Find the first term of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if the sum of the first eight terms is $12$ and the sum of the first twelve terms is $-6$:
\[ \begin{aligned}
s_8&=12 \\
s_{12}&=-6
\end{aligned} \]
Find the common difference of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if the sum of the first seven terms is $42$ and $a_{10}=-4a_5$:
\[ \begin{aligned}
s_7&=42 \\
a_{10}&=-4a_5
\end{aligned} \]
Find the sum of the first ten terms of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if:
\[ \begin{aligned}
a_1+a_5+a_{10}&=40 \\
a_{10}-a_5-a_1&=24
\end{aligned} \]
Find the square of the first term of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if:
\[ \begin{aligned}
a_2^2+a_3^2&=100 \\
a_5+a_7&=0
\end{aligned} \]
Find the third term of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if:
\[ \begin{aligned}
2a_{10}-3a_3&=5 \\
5a_5+4a_1&=83
\end{aligned} \]
Find the sum of the first five terms of an arithmetic sequence \( \left\{a_n\right\}_{n=1}^{\infty} \), if:
\[ \begin{aligned}
a_1\cdot a_4&=100 \\
a_2+a_6&=10
\end{aligned} \]
