This is a horribly worded and created problem. They're missing certain factors required to set up an equation
Answer:
Sum of the sequence (Sn) = 33,859
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Sequence = 685+678+671+664+...+6
Find:
Sum of the sequence (Sn)
Computation:
a = 685
d = 678 - 985 = -7
an = 6
an = a+(n-1)d
6 = 685+(n-1)(-7)
-679 = (n-1)(-7)
97 = n-1
n = 98
So,
Sum of the sequence (Sn) = (n/2)[a+an]
Sum of the sequence (Sn) = (98/2)[685+6]
Sum of the sequence (Sn) = (49)(691)
Sum of the sequence (Sn) = 33,859
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
T for Total M for Minutes after that.
T= 790(2)+130(M)
T=1,580+130M
I don't know what you are trying to find, but here is the equation.
