Answer

$3775$

Work Step by Step

Formula to calculate the sum of an arithmetic sequence is: $S_n=\dfrac{n}{2}(a_1+a_n)$ ...(1) Here, $a_1: $ First term and $d=$ common difference Since, we have $d=a_2-a_1=19-7=12$ and $a_{25}=7+12(25-1)=295$ Then, our first (1) equation becomes: $S_{25}=\dfrac{25}{2}(7+295)=\dfrac{25}{2}(302)=3775$
