We know that
the formula of the the sum of the arithmetic sequence is
Sum=n*(a1+an)/2

n=36
a1=3
a36=?

find a36
an=a1+(n-1)*d

for n=2 a2=9
9=3+(2-1)*d----> 9=3+d----> d=6
so
for n=36
a36=a1+(36-1)*6----> a36=3+35*6----> a36=213

Sum=n*(a1+an)/2-----> 36*[3+213]/2----> 3888

the answer is
3888

Solve for x. use the completing the square method. x^2+8x=5

jok3333 [9.3K]

$x^2+8x=5$

$x^2+8x + ( \frac{8}{2} )^2 =5 + (\frac{8}{2} )^2$

$x^2+8x + (4)^2 =5 + (4)^2$

$(x+ 4)^2 =21$

$x+ 4 = \pm \sqrt{21}$

$x = \sqrt{21} - 4 \ or \ x= -\sqrt{21} - 4$

$x = 0.58 \ or \ x= -8.58$
