find the value of x such that 1+4+7+10+….+x = 715

Answer» Correct Answer - x=64
Here, a=1and d=3. Let it contain n terms. Then,
` n/2 .[ 3a+(n-1)d] = 715 Rightarrow n/2. [2xx 1 + ( n-1)xx3] = 715`
` Rightarrow n(3n-1) = 1430 Rightarrow 3n^(2)-n-1430 =0 Rightarrow 3n^(2)-66n+65n -1430=0`
` Rightarrow 3n(n-22) + 65 (n-22) =0Rightarrow (n-22) (3n+65) =0 Rightarrow n=22`
`x==T_(22) = ( a+21d) = ( 1 + 21xx3) = 64`
