1. move 78.2 over to the over side. This will give you 287-78.2.
2. when you have .5x = 208.8, divide both sides by .5
3. this should give you x= 417.6
4. make sure to check your work by plugging you answer back into x.
Summation of 3n + 2 from n = 1 to n = 14 = (3(1) + 2) + (3(2) + 2) + (3(3) + 2) + . . . + (3(14) + 2) = 5 + 8 + 11 + ... + 44 ia an arithmetic progression with first term (a) = 5, common difference (d) = 3 and last term (l) = 44 and n = 14
Sn = n/2(a + l) = 14/2(5 + 44) = 7(49) = 343
Therefore, the required summation is 343.

Well since two solid numbers cant make 7 I would do 3.5 x 7
