OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is the question and work, but my answer isn't one of my choices...?

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

I think it's just asking for the 5th term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No that isn't one of the multiple choice answers either ): These are the answers they give: A. 55 B. 60 C. 65 D. 70

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

@tcarroll010 help me out D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b ;60 you solved wrong

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

actually he's right it was an addition error, but I got 70 :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

70 is correct

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how did you add to get 106?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

or 60 for that matter :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wow -.- how did that happen? I used a calculator... Lol thanks though guys!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the answer is 60 i double checked

OpenStudy (amistre64):

-1 + 5(1) -1 + 5(2) -1 + 5(3) -1 + 5(4) -1 + 5(5) ----------- 5(-1) + 5(1+2+3+4+5) -5 + 5(10+5) -5 + 50 + 25 50 + 20 = 70

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ right. Got it! Thanks... Blonde moment haha

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-1+5 is 4 4(1)=4 4(2)=8 4(3)=12 4(4)=16 4(5)=20 add all of the answers and is 60

OpenStudy (amistre64):
