Let a4+a8+a12+a16=224. Find the sum of first 19 term in sequence.

Without knowing anything about the sequence, this is impossible to answer. But suppose the sequence is arithmetic, in which case each term differs by some constant k:

a_2=a_1+k

a_3=a_2+k=a_1+2k

a_4=a_3+k=a_1+3k

\ldots

a_n=a_{n-1}+k=a_1+(n-1)k

Then we can write

a_4+a_8+a_{12}+a_{16}=4a_1+36k=224\implies a_1+9k=56

and from the formula above, we see this means the 10th term in the sequence is a_{10}=56. But that's all the specific info we can gather about such an arithmetic sequence. If we set the first term to be some unknown a_1=a, then the sum of the first 19 terms in the sequence would be

\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{19}a_n=\sum_{n=1}^{19}\big(a+(n-1)k\big)=19a+k\sum_{n=1}^{18}n=19a+171k

If we knew one more term in the sequence, we could determine the value of k and derive the value of a (if the first term a_1 is not immediately given), and then go on to find an exact numeric value for the sum.
