7000 - 3000 = 4000
:
***********************************
4000/2 = 2000+1 = 2001 even numbers
***********************************
:
Note between 10 and 20 there are 6 even numbers
:
for this problem, n=2001, d=2, a(1)=3000, a(n)=7000
:
S(n) = n(a(1) +a(n))/2
:
**********************************************
S(2001) = 2001 * (3000 + 7000) / 2 = 10,005,000

How many 4-digit even numbers that are between 3000 and 7000 can be made? What is their sum?
You didn't say "from 3,000 to 7,000," but BETWEEN 3,000 and 7,000. Therefore, the 4-digit even numbers you refer to begin at 3,002 and end at 6,998. 
This is a total of highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C4%2C+%221%2C999%22%2C+%224-digit%22%2C+even%2C+numbers%29%29
Use that fact to find the sum of these 1,999 4-digit even numbers.
