couldn't the sequence be 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17? I'm sure there must be other answers, though.

like -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24

anonymous · Answer

in both, the sum of the first 15 terms is 150.

anonymous · Answer

because if a4 + a12 is 20, a8 has to be 10, and a7 + a9 is 20, and so on. So the sum has to be 150.
