What is the value of S₇₀ − 2S₃₅?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1225

Direct answer: option B, 1225. Use Sₙ = n(n + 1)/2. First, S₇₀ = 70 × 71/2 = 35 × 71 = 2485. Next, S₃₅ = 35 × 36/2 = 35 × 18 = 630. The expression contains 2S₃₅, so multiply the entire value by 2: 2S₃₅ = 2 × 630 = 1260. Finally, S₇₀ − 2S₃₅ = 2485 − 1260 = 1225. Option A, 1215, and option C, 1235, can result from small multiplication or subtraction errors. Option B is correct because the coefficient 2 has been applied before subtraction. Option D, 1245, may come from using an incorrect value for S₃₅ or mishandling the coefficient. Memory cue: a number written before S multiplies the whole sum, not just its subscript.
