Understand the problem: Understand the problem.We need to evaluate the sum of the expression (nx+3) for each integer value of n from 2 to 6. This means we will substitute n with each of the integers from 2 to 6, calculate the expression for each, and then add all the results together.
Substitute n=2: Substitute n=2 into the expression and calculate.For n=2, the expression becomes (2x+3).
Substitute n=3: Substitute n=3 into the expression and calculate.For n=3, the expression becomes (3x+3).
Substitute n=4: Substitute n=4 into the expression and calculate.For n=4, the expression becomes (4x+3).
Substitute n=5: Substitute n=5 into the expression and calculate.For n=5, the expression becomes (5x+3).
Substitute n=6: Substitute n=6 into the expression and calculate.For n=6, the expression becomes (6x+3).
Add all the expressions together: Add all the expressions together.Now we add the expressions from steps 2 to 6:(2x+3)+(3x+3)+(4x+3)+(5x+3)+(6x+3).
Combine like terms: Combine like terms.We combine the x terms and the constant terms separately:(2x+3x+4x+5x+6x)+(3+3+3+3+3).
Perform the addition: Perform the addition.Adding the x terms: 2x+3x+4x+5x+6x=20x.Adding the constant terms: 3+3+3+3+3=15.
Write the final result: Write the final result.The sum of the expression from n=2 to 6 is 20x+15.
