Answer:
Explanation:
k = 10
14 - `1/2 * 10
14 - 5 = 9
k = 11
14 - 1/2 * 11
14 - 5.5 = 8.5
k = 12
14 - 1/2*12
14 - 6
8 8
K = 13
14 - 1/2 * 13
14 - 6.5 7.5
K = 14
14 - 1/2* 14
14 - 7 = 7
Sum = 9 + 8.5 + 8 + 7.5 + 7 =
Sum = 40
If you know the sum formula, you could use it.
n = 5
a = 9
L = 7
d = -1/2
Sum = (a + L)*n/2
Sum = (9 + 7)*5/2
Sum = 16 * 5 / 2
Sum = 40
