Question 581322: On each team the players' uniforms have numbers on them. The numbers are consecutive, beginning with 1. On each team, the total of the uniforms is 105. How many players are on each team? There are 18 teams.
I can not figure out how to put this into an equation.

1+2+3+ etc=105
105-1=104
104-2=102
102-3=99
99-4-95
95-5=90
90-6=84
84-7=77
77-8=69
69-9=60
60-10=50
50-11=39
39-12=27
27-13=14
14-14=0
14 players on each team
The number (18) of teams is irrelevant.
