3 + 5 + 7 + ... + (n terms) = (n/2)[6 + (n − 1)2]  = (n/2)(2n + 4) = n(n + 2)  5 + 8 + 11 + ... + (10 terms) =  ((10)/2)[10 + 9×3] = 5×37 = 185  ∴ ((n(n + 2))/(185)) = 7  ⇒ n^2  + 2n − 1295 = 0  n = ((−2 ± 72)/2) = −1 ± 36 = 35 or −37  ∴ n = 35.
3+5+7++(nterms)=n2[6+(n1)2]=n2(2n+4)=n(n+2)5+8+11++(10terms)=102[10+9×3]=5×37=185n(n+2)185=7n2+2n1295=0n=2±722=1±36=35or37n=35.
