The sum of first 20 arithmetic series 
Given:
Arithmetic series for 3rd term is 55
Arithmetic series for 7th term is -98
To find:
The sum of first 20 Arithmetic series
<u>Step by Step Explanation:
</u>
Solution:
Formula for calculating arithmetic series
Arithmetic series=a+(n-1) d
Arithmetic series for 3rd term 

Arithmetic series for 19th term is


Subtracting equation 2 from 1
![\left[a_{19}+18 d=-98\right]+\left[a_{1}+2 d=55\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5Ba_%7B19%7D%2B18%20d%3D-98%5Cright%5D%2B%5Cleft%5Ba_%7B1%7D%2B2%20d%3D55%5Cright%5D)
16d=-98-55
16d=-153

Also we know





First 20 terms of an AP



![a_{20}=[1106 / 16]-[2907 / 16]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a_%7B20%7D%3D%5B1106%20%2F%2016%5D-%5B2907%20%2F%2016%5D)

Sum of 20 Arithmetic series is

Substitute the known values in the above equation we get
![S_{20}=\left[\frac{20\left(\left(\frac{558}{8}\right)+\left(\frac{-1801}{16}\right)\right)}{2}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=S_%7B20%7D%3D%5Cleft%5B%5Cfrac%7B20%5Cleft%28%5Cleft%28%5Cfrac%7B558%7D%7B8%7D%5Cright%29%2B%5Cleft%28%5Cfrac%7B-1801%7D%7B16%7D%5Cright%29%5Cright%29%7D%7B2%7D%5Cright%5D)

Result:
Thus the sum of first 20 terms in an arithmetic series is 
148 divided by 28= 5.28
220 divided by 12= 18.33
192 divided by 15=12.80
20 divided by 3=6.66
Answer:
9
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the no be x
By the conditions given ,
2x + 6x = 72
8x = 72
x = 72/8
x = 9
therefore the no is 9
