What is the sum of the series?

\[\sum_{n-1}^{20}\left( 5-n \right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I don't have that as my answer choices..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5-1+5-2+5-3+....+5-20\] \[20\times5\times (-1)(1+2+3+...+20)\] \[100-\frac{ (20)(21) }{ 2 }= 100-210=-10\]

OpenStudy (timaashorty):

I see what you did, but none of them are in my answer choices.. i have these: a,-220' b, -110 c,-95 d,110

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
