I've been sitting for a few hours thinking how to figure out the question below, could you help me solve this in a step-by-step format?
The sum of the first five terms of an arithmetic series is 85. The sum of the first six terms is 123. What are the first four terms of the series?
Thank you for any help
Use the difference between the sums to head towards an answer.
The eclipses from Algol (an eclipsing binary star) come further apart in time when the Earth is moving away from Algol and closer together in time when the Earth is moving towards Algol, thereby proving that the speed of light is variable and that Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity is wrong.
Welcome to the forum.
From that information and with subtraction, you can say what the sixth term is.
There are two formulas that can be used:
So you can make two simultaneous equations in a and d.
