Answer:

495

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the sum of the first 18 terms you have to find the 18th term and the first term using the equation given.

a1=3(1)-1        a1=2

a18=3(18)-1   a18= 53

Then plug in 53 for an, 18 for n, and 2 in for a1 in the sum equation: Sn=n/2(a1+an)  

Sn=18/2(2+53)  Solve for sn= 495

-10/5+2(7-9)^2
Oksana_A [137]
Answer: -4

Reasoning: so first you need to subtract the 7 from the 9 to get -2. Then you square it to get 4 because a negative 2 times -2 is 4. Then you multiply the 4 by the 2 to get 8. You can simplify the -10/5 to -1/2 and multiply that by the 8 to get -8/2 which simplified out to -4.


I hope that helps.
