Answer:

10+20+30+40+50+60=210

Explanation:

Let's simplify the series and then apply a useful method.

The original series is:

10+20+30+40+50+60, which can be simplified as:

10*(1+2+3+4+5+6)

Considering that you have a new series starting in 1 and the following numbers are consecutive, then the Gauss equation can be used, which is:

S=n*(n+1)/2, where n is the last value of a consecutive-number series starting in 1.

Through this equation we can find the sum of 1+2+3+4+5+6 by using:

S=6*(6+1)/2=21

Since our expression was 10*(1+2+3+4+5+6) now we can use the expression:

10*(21), obtaining the answer 210.

So, 10+20+30+40+50+60 is equal to 210.
