I believe 24 because that is the makimum and the biggest box
You flip the inequality.
Example: if x > -y and you divide both sides by (-1) then you flip the inequality so: -x < y
Answer:
first we find the common difference.....do this by subtracting the first term from the second term. (9 - 3 = 6)...so basically, ur adding 6 to every number to find the next number.
we will be using 2 formulas....first, we need to find the 34th term (because we need this term for the sum formula)
an = a1 + (n-1) * d
n = the term we want to find = 34
a1 = first term = 3
d = common difference = 6
now we sub
a34 = 3 + (34-1) * 6
a34 = 3 + (33 * 6)
a34 = 3 + 198
a34 = 201
now we use the sum formula
Sn = (n (a1 + an)) / 2
S34 = (34(3 + 201))/2
s34 = (34(204)) / 2
s34 = 6936/2
s34 = 3468 <=== the sum of the first 34 terms:
