Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the two consecutive numbers be 2n and 2n+2
The sum of these numbers in 2n + (2n+2).
Hence
2n + (2n+2) = 34
4n + 2 = 34
4n = 32
n =8.
3, 1, -1, -3, -5
-2 -2 -2 -2
a(n) = a₁ + d(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n - 1)
a(n) = 3 - 2(n) + 2(1)
a(n) = 3 - 2n + 2
a(n) = -2n + 3 + 2
a(n) = -2n + 5
a₁₄ = -2(14) + 5
a₁₄ = -28 + 5
a₁₄ = -23
The answer is C.
