  1. It is an A.P.,

    in which, a= -5, d= -8-(-5)=-3, l=-230

    First calculate the number in series…..

    l=a+(n-1)d

    -230=-5+(n-1)-3

    -225=-3n + 3

    3n=228

    n=76.

    Now,

    Sum of the series = n/2 (a+l)

    76/2 (-5-230)

    38 * -235 = -8930.

    So, the sum of your series would be -8930.
