Select the correct answer. What is the sum of this arithmetic series?

586 +564 + 542 + ... +212

sum of the series = 7182  

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an arithmetic series. The first term is known as 586 and the last term is known as 212. We are ask to find the sum of the series. The common difference of this sequence is -22 . The difference between the next term  and the previous term is -22. Let us find the number of terms.

common difference = 564 - 586 = -22

number of terms = n

nth term = a + (n - 1)d

212 = 586 + (n - 1)-22

212 = 586 - 22n + 22

212 - 586 - 22 = -22n

-396 = -22n

divide both sides by -22

n = -396/-22

n = 18

Using the formula for sum

sum of nth term = n/2(a + l)

where

l = last term

a = first term

n = number of term

sum of nth term = n/2(a + l)

sum of nth term = 18/2(586 + 212)

sum of nth term = 9(798 )

sum of the series = 7182  

step-by-step explanation:

always plug in x. in this case, x equals 4.

i'm going to first solve 4(2+3x)

1) 4(2+3(4)) use pemdas to solve.

i'm going to multiply whats in the parenthesis first, so 3 times 4=12.

2)4 (2+12) i'm then going to multiply 4 by both numbers in the parenthesis (because multiplying comes before adding)

4 times 2= 8.   4 times 12= 48

4) (8+48)= 56 (answer)

i'm then going to solve 8+12x and plug in 4 for x.

1) 8 +12(4)

multiplying comes before adding, so i'm gonna multiply 12 and 4.

12 times 4= 48.

2) 8+48=56

both equal the same!
