Question

um atleta corre sempre 400 metros a mais do que no dia anterior.Ao final de 11 dias ele percore um total de 35200metros.qual foi o numero de metros que ele percoreu?

Answer 1

$\sf \sf \displaystyle 35200=\left(a1+an\right)\frac{11}{2}\\\\\\\sf 35200=\left(a\cdot \:1+an\right)\frac{11}{2}\\\\\\\sf \left(a\cdot \:1+an\right)\frac{11}{2}=35200\\\\\\\sf 2\left(a\cdot \:1+an\right)\frac{11}{2}=35200\cdot \:2\\\\\\\sf 11\left(a+an\right)=70400\\\\\\\sf \frac{11\left(a+an\right)}{11}=\frac{70400}{11}\\\\\\\sf a+an=6400\\\\\\\sf a\left(1+n\right)=6400\\\\\\\sf \frac{a\left(1+n\right)}{1+n}=\frac{6400}{1+n}\\\\\\\to \boxed{\boxed{\sf a=6400}}$

$\tt \tt an=\left(6400-an\right)+\left(11-1\right)\cdot 400\\\\\\\tt an=6400-an+\left(11-1\right)\cdot \:400\\\\\\\tt an=6400-an+4000\\\\\\\tt an=-an+10400\\\\\\\tt an+an=-an+10400+an\\\\\\\tt 2an=10400\\\\\\\tt \dfrac{2an}{2n}=\dfrac{10400}{2n}\\\\\\\to \boxed{\boxed{\sf a=5200}}$
