Solved by pluggable solver: Arithmetic Progression (AP) Solver
The first few terms of this AP are:
\n" ); document.write( "a=10, a+d=20, a+2d=30, a+3d=40, ...
\n" ); document.write( "or, just: 10, 20, 30, 40, ...\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The Sum of the first n terms is given by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+S%5Bn%5D=+%28n%2F2%29%282a%2B%28n-1%29d%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "So substituting a=10, d=10 and n=16 gives:
