n= 9-5n

taking n= 1 , 2, ,3...,

case (i)  n=1

=9-5(1) =9-5 = 4

taking n=2
=9-5(2) = 9-10 = (-1)

taking n = 3
=9-5(3) =9-15 = -6

here  A1=4 , A2=-1 , A3= -6

so, A=4 , d  =-5     n=15
Sn=n/2 [2a+(n-1)d]

S15=15/2[2(4) +( 15 - 1 ) -5]

  =15/2[8 + [14]-5]

  =15/2[8+-70]

  =15/2[(-62]

  =15[-31]

  =-465

plszzz mark as brainliest answer !!!
