Question

S=n/2(2a+(n-1)d). If d=5, n=13, S=585 find the value of a.​

Answer 1

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of 'n' terms formula is given by:-    

s=n/2(2a+(n-1)d)  

s=13/2[2xa+(13-1)5]    

s=13/2(2xa+12x5)    

s=13/2(2a+60)    

585=13/2(2a+60)    

585 x (2/13) = 2a + 60

90 = 2a + 60  

90-60 = 2a

30 = 2a

a = 15
