Already answered the first one, although the answer isn't pretty.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "S = ½(a + an)n
\n" ); document.write( "S = ½(2a + (n-1)d)n
\n" ); document.write( "an = a + (n - 1)d\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "970 = ½(-18 + 115)n
\n" ); document.write( "970 = ½(97)n
\n" ); document.write( "10=n/2
\n" ); document.write( "n=20 terms
\n" ); document.write( "133 = (19)d
\n" ); document.write( "d=7 difference
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
