 742

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sequence {27, 31, 35, ... } provides the following information:

We can use the information above to find the explicit rule of the sequence:

We can use the explicit rule to find the 14th term (a₁₄)

Next, we can input the first and last term of the sequence into the Sum formula:

step-by-step explanation:

a

(6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) ( remove brackets and collect like terms )

= 6r + 7 + 13 + 7r

= 13r + 20

b

remove brackets and collect like terms

13 - r - 1 + r

= 12 - r

c

remove brackets and collect like terms

= - 8 - r + 2r - 4

= - 12 + r

d

remove brackets and collect like terms

= 7r - - - 6r

[-   - = - - = - ]

= r -
