Let $S$ denote an arithmetic progression whose first term is either 132 or 158, and the common difference is an even integer less than 10. If the $n^{\text{th}}$ term of $S$ is 174, then the number of possible distinct values of $n$ is ___

The Celsius scale of temperature can be converted to Fahrenheit scale using the relationship $F = 1.8C + 32$, where $F$ and $C$ are temperature recorded in degrees Fahrenheit and Celsius, respectively.
