Answer:

The value of sum is 1323

Explanation:

First of all we will find the value of n:

The value of n can be determined by the following formula:

an = a1 + (n - 1)d

where an= 113

a1= 13

d=5

Difference between the values = d=5

Now put the values n the formula:

113=13+(n-1)5

113=13+5n-5

Solve the like terms:

113=8+5n

Move constant to the L.H.S

113-8=5n

105=5n

Divide both sides by 5

21=n

Now put these values in the formula to find the sum:

Sn = n/2(a1 + an)

S21=21/2(13+113)

S21=21/2(126)

S21=21(63)

S21=1323

The value of sum is 1323....
