$\"\"$

\

The expression is $\"\"$ .

\

This is the sum of an arithmetic sequence $\"\"$ , with first term $\"\"$ .

\

and the common difference is d = 2. the nth term is $\"\"$ .

\

To find the value of n.

\

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ (Substitute $\"\"$ , $\"\"$ and d = 2)

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Add 1 to each side) \ \

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Divide each side by 2) \ \

\

$\"\"$

\

The sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
