Answer:

Explanation:

You have to calculate something, if not the sum. If you knew how many terms there were, that would be helpful.

Last term for O is 103

Ln = a + (n-1)*d

103 = 3 + (n - 1)*2 Subtract 3

103-3 = (n - 1)*2 Combine the left side

100 = (n - 1)*2 Divide by 2

100/2 = n - 1

50 = n - 1 Add 1 to both sides

51 = n

The last term for E is 104. If you solve the equation for the last term the way you did for O, you get 51

So O is 51 bigger than E because each term is 1 larger than the preceding one.
