Let the number of terms to be added be n
(-8) + (-6) + (-4) + ... 
Sn = n/2[2a + (n-1)d]
rightwards double arrow 52 equals straight n over 2 open square brackets 2 cross times open parentheses negative 8 close parentheses plus open parentheses straight n minus 1 close parentheses 2 close square brackets space space... space open parentheses Since space minus 6 minus left parenthesis negative 8 right parenthesis equals 2 close parentheses
rightwards double arrow 104 equals straight n open square brackets negative 16 plus 2 straight n minus 2 close square brackets
rightwards double arrow 104 equals straight n left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 18 right parenthesis
rightwards double arrow 2 straight n squared minus 18 straight n minus 104 equals 0
rightwards double arrow straight n squared minus 9 straight n minus 52 equals 0
rightwards double arrow straight n squared minus 13 straight n plus 4 straight n minus 52 equals 0
