Re: Series and Progressions
Hi,
First part is correct, the second part is not. I think it is be oversight! Neat work for the first part!

Re: Series and Progressions
Whoops 
I subtracted two from 100 instead of adding two. 100 was the 34th term of the sequence. Details matter

Re: Series and Progressions
Hi,
Neat work!
SP#633. Two terms of an arithmetic sequence having natural number terms are 50 and 85. Also, 60 is not a term of this sequence. Is 134 a term of this sequence? Justify your opinion.
