If a = 7 and d = 3, what is the sum of the first 6 terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 87

The governing concept is the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic progression. Use S_n = n/2[2a + (n − 1)d]. Here a = 7, d = 3, and n = 6, so S_6 = 6/2[2(7) + (6 − 1)3] = 3[14 + 15] = 3 × 29 = 87. Thus option C is correct. A direct check lists the terms as 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22. Pairing the first with the last, the second with the fifth, and the third with the fourth gives 29 for every pair; three pairs therefore total 3 × 29 = 87. The other choices can arise from miscounting terms, using an incorrect difference, or making an addition error.
