Hello,

$s=1+2+3+...+1000+1001=\sum_{i=1}^{1001}\ i \ (1) \\ 

s=1001+1000+...+3+2+1=\sum_{j=1}^{1001}\ 1002-j \ (2)\\

(1)+(2)==\textgreater \ 2*s=(1+1001)+(2+1000)+...+(1000+2)+(1001+1)\\

=1002*1001=(\sum_{i=1}^{1001}\ i )\ +(\sum_{i=1}^{1001}\ 1002-i )\ \\

=\sum_{i=1}^{1001}\ ( i+1002-i)\ = \sum_{i=1}^{1001}\ 1002=1001*1002\\

So\ s= \dfrac{1001*1002}{2} =501501\\

Two students, Raymond and Shauna, are trying to get city council members to vote for a new park along the river. 2/6 of the 24 c

Raymond and Shauna must convince at least 5 more city council member. Because if every 2/6 members agree with the idea, then there would be 8 people out 24 that already agree with the idea. So if you have already 8 members then to make 13, you just need 5 (8 + 5=13) more people to 13.
