Seems to be an arythmetic sequence
Sn=[n(a1+an)]/2
where
Sn means sum of all terms up the nth term
n=number of terms
a1=first term
an=nth term
so from 86 to the 22th term is from a1 to a22
find teh sequence
miknus 7 each time
an=a1+d(n-1)
an=87-7(n-1)
find 22n term
a22=87-7(22-1)
a22=87-7(21)
a22=87-147
a22=-60
S22=[22(87-60)]/2
S22=[22(27)]/2
S22=594/2
S22=297
the sum is 297
Your answer is correct. A
"<span>z˄2 − 3" because x squared is z^2, and 3 less of it would mean to subtract it from 3</span>
It is given in the question that
Anna buys 12 pens and 20 pencils for a total cost of $16. One pen costs $0.40 more than a pencil.
Let the cost of pencil is $ x .
Therefore cost of pen is

According to the question

Distributing 12 and combining like terms, we will get

Therefore cost of pencil is $0.35 and cost of pen is
