first u need to find the diference do u know what it is dawzjr?
OpenStudy (firejay5):
4 + (3) = 7, 7 + (3) = 10, 10 + (3) = 13. The answer is in the parentheses.

If you know that's is adding 3 each time, you can go on from 13 + 3 = 16, 16 is the forth term, you do the rest

OpenStudy (firejay5):
Figure out what the 15 terms are and adding them together
OpenStudy (firejay5):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's not the difference, it's the sum of 3
OpenStudy (firejay5):
Meaning it's adding 3 each time

t1 = 2
t10 = 6.5
S10 = 42.5
t1 = 2
t20 = 11.5
S20 = 135
OpenStudy (anonymous):

It says what is the sum of the first 10 terms of the sequence that starts with 2,2.5,3,3.5... what is the sum of the first 20 terms?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
t1 = 2
t10 = 6.5
S10 = 42.5
t1 = 2
t20 = 11.5
S20 = 135
OpenStudy (firejay5):
don't make it complicated
