Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:


Simplify.
1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ......
notice, there are consecutive odd integers, every other number
skip one, another, skip one, another and so on
so, from 1 to 3, is 1 + 2 =3
5 is 3 +2
7 is 5+2
and so on
let us pick an odd integer, hmmm say "a"
to find the next odd one, it'd be "a + 2" of course :)
we know their sum is 316
so

once you found "a", the next one is, well, "a + 2" :)
1 3/4 - 5/6r = 8/3
-5/6r + 7/4 = 8/3
-5/6r +7/4 - 7/4 = 8/3 -7/4
-5/6r = 11/12
(6/-5)*(-5/6r)=(6/-5)*(11/12)
=-11/10
r = -1 1/10
