Set up a table of values for k and the argument, (-2k+8).
EXCEL is a great program to do this.
k=1, -2k+8=-2(1)+8=6
k=2, -2k+8=-2(2)+8=4
k=3, -2k+8=-2(3)+8=2
k=4, -2k+8=-2(4)+8=0
k=5, -2k+8=-2(5)+8=-2
k=6, -2k+8=-2(6)+8=-4
k=7, -2k+8=-2(7)+8=-6
k=8, -2k+8=-2(8)+8=-8
k=9, -2k+8=-2(9)+8=-10
Sum the first nine terms,
