Answer:

82

Explanation:

The sum resolves to ...

13 + 18 + 23 + 28 = 82

_____

for n=2, the term is 5·2 +3 = 10+3 = 13

The coefficient of n is 5, so you know the next term will be 5 more than this:

for n=3, the term is 5·3 +3 = 15+3 = 18

Additional terms are each 5 more than the one before. Since there are so few terms, you can add them up directly as quickly as you can use any other formula. For a longer series, you might find the average term (here, 41/2), then multiply by the number of terms (here, 4). The result is the sum of the series:

4·(41/2) = 82
