If a sequence of 8 consecutive odd integers with increasing values has 7 as its 7th term, what is the sum of the terms of the sequence? Pick one:
A) 4	B) 6	C) 8	D) 12	E) 16
Let x be the first term.   Then x + 12 = 7 and x = -5   The sum is: x + (x+2) +...+ (x+14) =   8x + 2(1+2+...+7) = 8x + 2(7)(8) / 2 = 8(-5) +56 = 16   The answer is 16.
