Answer: The expression is,

\frac{20}{2}(102+159)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the sum of an A.P. is,

S_n=\frac{n}{2}(a+a_n)

Where, n is the number of terms,

a is the first term of the A.P.,

a_n is the last term of the A.P.,

Here, we have given,

a = 102, a_n = 159, and n = 20,

Thus, the sum of the given A.P. is,

S_20=\frac{20}{2}(102+159)

Which is the required expression.

If a_1=102 is the first term in the series, then the next term is a_2=a_1+k for some fixed k, the term after that is a_3=a_2+k=a_1+2k, and so on. So the 20th term in the series would be a_{20}=a_1+(20-1)k=102+19k=159.

We have enough info to find k:

102+19k=159\implies19k=57\implies k=3

So the sum of the series is given by

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{20}(a_1+3(n-1))=\sum_{n=1}^{20}(3n+99)=2610

Could somebody please help me find the answers for 'x' for these pictures?
lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Pic 1: x=31

Pic 2: x=20

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Picture 1:</u>

<u />2x+x-3=90\\3x-3=90\\3x=93\\x=31

First, add the 2x and x together for 3x

Then add 3 to both sides of the equation

Finally, divide each side by 3.

<u>Picture 2:</u>

<u />7x+x+20=180\\8x+20=180\\8x=160\\x=20<u />

First, add 7x and x together for 8x

Then, minus 20 from both sides of the equation

Finally, divide each side by 8.
