    An = a1 + (n-1) * d

    n = term to find = 30

    a1 = first term = 20

    d = common difference = 2

    a30 = 20 + (30 - 1) * 2

    a30 = 20 + 29 * 2

    a30 = 20 + 58

    a30 = 78

    sn = (n (a1 + a30)) / 2

    s30 = (30 (20 + 78) / 2

    s30 = (30 (98) / 2

    s30 = 2940/2

    s30 = 1470 <===
