Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate T6T_6

    Assuming TnT_n refers to the nn-th triangular number, the formula is Tn=n(n+1)2T_n = \frac{n(n+1)}{2}.

    T6=6(6+1)2T_6 = \frac{6(6+1)}{2} T6=6Γ—72T_6 = \frac{6 \times 7}{2} T6=422T_6 = \frac{42}{2} T6=21T_6 = 21
  2. Substitute T6T_6 into N=2T6+4N = 2T_6 + 4

    Substitute the calculated value of T6T_6 into the given equation for NN.

    N=2(21)+4N = 2(21) + 4 N=42+4N = 42 + 4 N=46N = 46
  3. Verify the total by separating repeated and fixed parts

    The expression for NN is 2T6+42T_6 + 4. In this form, 2T62T_6 represents the repeated part and 4 represents the fixed part.
    The repeated part is 2Γ—T6=2Γ—21=422 \times T_6 = 2 \times 21 = 42.
    The fixed part is 4.
    Adding these parts together:

    Total=RepeatedΒ Part+FixedΒ Part\text{Total} = \text{Repeated Part} + \text{Fixed Part} Total=42+4\text{Total} = 42 + 4 Total=46\text{Total} = 46

    This matches the value of NN calculated in Step 2.

    The calculated value of T6T_6 is 21\boxed{21}.
    The calculated value of NN is 46\boxed{46}.
    The verification confirms the total is 46\boxed{46}.
