Find the sum of the even integers from 20 to 50.with solutions please help
1 answer:
Answer: 560
Step-by-step explanation:
There are [20, 22, 24, 26, 28]: 5 even integers for each ten numbers.
The 20's set can be written as 5*20 + (2+4 + 6 + 8) = 5*20 + (20) = 120
The 30's can be written: 5*30 + 20 = 170
40's: 5*40+20 = 220
50's: 5*50+20 = 270
60's: 5*60+20 = 320
Each set is incremented by 50
We want the sets for 20, 30, and 40, plus the number 50.
(120+170+220+50) = 560
You can also do this in Excel (attached). Set the first cell to 20, the next cell below equal to the cell above plus 2. Then draw the second cell down until you've reached 50. Then sum the cells to arrive at 560.
