.
Where
is first term of the sequence and d is common difference.
Here
,
Common difference
,
So
.
The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is
.
(Substitute
)
Distribute terms using distributive property:
.

(Subtract:
)
Apply addition property of equality: a = b then
.
(Add 1 to each side)
(Add: 95 + 1 = 96)
Apply division property of equality: a = b then
.
(Divide each side by 6)
(Cancel common terms)
(Divide:
)
Apply sum of an arithmetic series formula:
.
(Substitute
)
(Add: 5 + 95 = 100)
(Divide:
)
(Multiply:
)
The sum of the arithmetic series is 800.
