Find the sum of first five multiples of $3$.


Given: First five multiples of $3$. 

To do: To find the sum of first five multiples of $3$.

Solution:

First five multiples of $3$ are: $3,\ 6,\ 9,\ 12,\ 15$

$a=3,\ d=3,\ n=5$

Sum of an AP is:

$\frac{n}{2}\times ( 2a+( n−1)d)$

Sum $=\frac{5}{2}\times ( 2\times 3+( 5−1)\times ( 3))$

$=\frac{5}{2}\times ( 6+12)$

$=45$

Thus, sum of the first five multiples of $3$ is $45$.
