question

Suppose that

n>5

and that the numbers

t_{1}, t_{2}, t_{3}, \ldots, t_{n-2}, t_{n-1}, t_{n}

form an arithmetic sequence with

n

terms. If

t_{3}=5, t_{n-2}=95

, and the sum of all

n

terms is 1000 , what is the value of

n

? (An arithmetic sequence is a sequence in which each term after the first is obtained from the previous term by adding a constant, called the common difference. For example,

3,5,7,9

are the first four terms of an arithmetic sequence.)

Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)

Suppose that n>5 and that the numbers t₁,t₂,t₃,…,t_(n−2),t_(n−1),t_(n) form an arithmetic sequence with n terms. If t₃=5,t_(n−2)=95, and the sum of all n terms is 1000 , what is the value of n ?

Original LaTeX notation

Suppose that $n>5$ and that the numbers $t_{1}, t_{2}, t_{3}, \ldots, t_{n-2}, t_{n-1}, t_{n}$ form an arithmetic sequence with $n$ terms. If $t_{3}=5, t_{n-2}=95$, and the sum of all $n$ terms is 1000 , what is the value of $n$ ?
