SOLUTION: I have tried to do the problem
"For each arithmetic series, find S of 25"
3+7+11+15
This is the equation i came up with
25[2(3)+(25-1)d/2]
I just cant find the d and when i

You can put this solution on YOUR website! For each arithmetic series, find S of 25"
3+7+11+15
S(25) means to find the sum of the 1st 25 terms.
d is the difference between any term and the previous term:
For your problem d=11-7=4
The Sum formula is S(n)=(n/2)(a(1)+a(n))
and a(n)=a(1)+(n-1)d
Since a(1)=3, a(25)=3+(24)(4)=99
Therefore S(25)=(25/2)(3+99)=25(51)=1275
