1.  The arithmetic mean of the numbers -2 and 18 is half of their sum  %28-2+%2B+18%29%2F2 = 16%2F2 = 8.



2.  Regarding your sequence, I see 5 terms there  -30, -15, 0, 15, 30.


    Then I see ellipsis, that says me nothing.



    The sum of the five written terms is equal to zero.



    If you mean something different, then take a labor to describe this "something" adequately.

For arithmetic sequences,  there are well known formulas,  written everywhere,  in any textbook or in numerous  Internet sites.

For example,  you may look into the lessons
    - Arithmetic progressions
    - The proofs of the formulas for arithmetic progressions
    - Problems on arithmetic progressions
    - Word problems on arithmetic progressions
in this site and to learn the subject from there . . .
