8. The initial term of an arithmetic progression is 1. If the sum of its first 9 terms
is three times as large as the sum of its first 5 terms, what is the common difference of
this progression?

Geometric progression
A geometric progression (GP) is a sequence of non-zero terms in which each succeeding term is
obtained by multiplying its preceding term by a constant.
