Given series is
1. 7 + 14 + . . . + 84
First term a = 7
Common diference d = 14 - 7 = 7
Last term l = 84
Let number of terms is n.
Now l = a + (n-1)d
=> 84 = 7 + (n-1)7
=> 84 - 7 = (n-1)7
=> 7(n-1) = 77
=> n-1 = 77/7
=> n-1 = 11
=> n = 11+1
=> n = 12
Now sum Sn = (n/2)*(a + l)
= (12/2)*(7 + 84)
= 6 * 91
= 546
So sum = 546
2. 34 + 32 + . . . + 10
First term a = 43
Common diference d = 32 - 34 = - 2
Last term l = 10
Let number of terms is n.
Now l = a + (n-1)d
=> 10 = 34 + (n-1)*(- 2)
=> 10 - 34 = (n-1)(- 2)
=> -2 *(n-1) = -24
=> n-1 = 24/2
=> n-1 = 12
=> n = 12+1
=> n = 13
Now sum Sn = (n/2)*(a + l)
= (13/2)*(34 + 10)
= (13 * 44)/2
= 13*22
= 286
So sum is 286
3. -5 + (-8) + . . . + (-230)
First term a = -5
Common diference d = -8 - (-5) = - 8 + 5 = -3
Last term l = -230
Let number of terms is n.
Now l = a + (n-1)d
=> -230 = -5 + (n-1)*(- 3)
=> -230 + 5 = (n-1)(- 3)
=> -3 *(n-1) = -225
=> n-1 = 225/3
=> n-1 = 75
=> n = 75+1
=> n = 76
Now sum Sn = (n/2)*(a + l)
= (76/2)*{-5 + (-230)}
= (76/2)*(-5 - 230)
= - 38*235
= - 8930
So sum is - 8930
