Answer by Edwin McCravy(20056)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
We seek an arithmetic series of 5 terms with common difference d=4
such that S5 = 100

Sn = [2a1 + (n-1)d]

S5 = [2a1 + (5-1)(4)]

100 = [2a1 + (5-1)(4)]

Multiply through by 2

200 = 5[2a1 + (4)(4)]

200 = 5[2a1 + 16]

200 = 10a1 + 80

120 = 10a1

 12 = a1

Answer = 12+16+20+24+28 = 100
