The sum of the integers from 30 to 50 is $$x=\frac{first \ term+ last \ term}{2}*# \ of \ terms=\frac{30+50}{2}*21=40*21=840$$;

The number of even integers from 30 to 50 is $$y=\frac{50-30}{2}+1=11$$ (check this: totally-basic-94862.html);

x+y=840+11=851.

I will use AP:

Sum = n/2[2a+(n-1)d) = 21/2[2*30+20*1] = 840 = sum from 30- 50
Number of even terms from 30 -50 are 11.
so total = 240+11 =251
Hope this helps

21 integers from 30 to 50 inclusive

so 11th integer is mean, it is 40

21*40=840

from 21 integers 11 ones is even

840+11=851

Hi Bunuel how do you calculate no. of terms(i.e 21). By counting or is there any method. Counting no. of terms in given range or no. of hours have always been a problem for me. i always count which consumes a lot of time.

How many integers are from x to y inclusive? y - x + 1.
For example, how many integers are from 2 to 7 inclusive? 7 - 2 + 1 = 6. Namely, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

How many integers are from x to y NOT inclusive? y - x - 1.
For example, how many integers are from 2 to 7 NOT inclusive? 7 - 2 - 1 = 4. Namely, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

21*(30+50)/2=840

(50-30)/2=10+1=11
