Answer:


\sum_(n=1)^(25)(3n-2)=925]

Explanation:

The given series is
\sum_(n=1)^(25)(3n-2)

The first term of this series is


a_1=3(1)-2


a_1=3-2


a_1=1

The second term is


a_2=3(2)-2


a_2=6-2


a_2=4

The common difference is


d=4-1=3

The sum of the first n-terms is given by;


S_n=(n)/(2)[2a_1+d(n-1)]

The sum of the first 25 terms of the series is


S_(25)=(25)/(2)[2(1)+3(25-1)]


S_(25)=(25)/(2)[2+3(24)]


S_(25)=(25)/(2)(74)]


S_(25)=925]
