To find the common difference \( d \) of the arithmetic sequence, we can subtract the first term from the second term.
Given the first term \( a_1 = 32 \) and the second term \( a_2 = 12 \):
\[
d = a_2 - a_1 = 12 - 32 = -20
\]
Thus, the common difference \( d \) of the arithmetic sequence is \( d = -20 \).
Given the first term \( a_1 = 32 \) and the second term \( a_2 = 12 \):
\[
d = a_2 - a_1 = 12 - 32 = -20
\]
Thus, the common difference \( d \) of the arithmetic sequence is \( d = -20 \).
