Teacake said..So guys, I know some of you are pretty good with numbers.
I am stuck on this question for specialist mathematics, anyone help me? Ted, your up mate!

Question is as follows:
The sixth term of a sequence is 82 and the eleventh term is 62. Find the sum of the first 20 terms of the sequence. I can't find examples in our books of this and am a bit lost.
Any ideas guys? Ted?
I thought I could use simultaneous equations with the 82 and the 62 where the sum to n follows a, a+d, a+2d etc. Where a is the first term, a + d is the second term, a+2d is the 3rd term etc. Following this then the 6th term would be a+5d which is equal to 82, equation one, and the 11th term would be a+10d which is equal to 62, equation 2. Subract one from the other to eliminate one variable and then solve for both variables.
I thought this would give me my nth term but do not think it does.
This probably is straight over the head of some, straight over my head, almost, and my parents.
TED! You said you were good at maths, are you this good?
Cheers Breezers! Any help is appreciated!
Tom.
Tom i know this is a little confusing for you, but math is a very complexed and rewarding part of you education and im very glad to help out
in any way.
OK try to keep up
Q. if tom had..... $500 , six condoms, two prostitutes, one bag of dope, and one bottle of rum
but he had to give one of these things up
what will Tom end up with.
