There is an excellent explanation along with the formula to do this here: arithmetic progression.
[Rich, I pointed this particular student to an answer to do it himself because he was rude and ill-mannered.]

If you know the first and last terms use this
S = �(A1 + An)n
If you know the first term and the difference between terms use this
S = �(2*A1 + (n-1)d)n
We don;t know the last term
d=-6
n=100
A1=6
S = �(2*(-6) + (99)*(-6))100
S = 50(-12 + (99)*(-6))
S = 50(-12-594)
S=50*-606
S=-30300
