Verified Answer :

just x-17 because you just reduce this in the calculator

Signs start with a negative and alternate, so the general term will have (-1)^n as a factor. The common difference has a magnitude of 5, so the general term is

\(a_{n}=(-1)^{n}\cdot (7+5(n-1))\)

and the sum is

\(\displaystyle S=\sum_{n=1}^{5}{(-1)^{n}\cdot (5n+2)}=-17\)
