85 (=17*5).
The middle term is 5. There are 8 terms bigger than 5 and 8 smaller.
The term smaller than 5 and next to it is 5 - r
The term bigger than 5 and next to it is 5 + r
So these two average 5.
Similarly, the next pair outwards average 5; and so on.
So the sum of the progression is equivalent to the sum of 8 pairs of numbers whose average is 5 and the middle term which is 5 ie 17 lots of 5.
An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms in an arithmetic progression.

For an Arithmetic Progression, Sum = 15[a + 7d].{a = first term and d = common difference} For a Geometric Progression, Sum = a[1-r^15]/(r-1).{r = common ratio }.
It is neither. (-6) - (-2) = -4 (-18) - (-6) = -12 which is not the same as -4. Therefore it is not an arithmetic progression - which requires the difference between successive terms to be the same. Also -162/-54 = 3 -468/-162 = 2.88... recurring, and that is not the same as 3. Therefore it is not a geometric progression - which requires the ratio of terms to be the same.
An arithmetic series is the sum of the terms in an arithmetic progression.
It is a progression of terms whose reciprocals form an arithmetic progression.
This a progression that involves addition or subtraction of successive terms in a sequence.
A harmonic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the reciprocal of each term forms an arithmetic progression. In other words, the ratio between consecutive terms is constant when the reciprocals of the terms are taken. It is the equivalent of an arithmetic progression in terms of reciprocals.

Any number you like. You need two terms to uniquely identify an arithmetic progression.
For an Arithmetic Progression, Sum = 15[a + 7d].{a = first term and d = common difference} For a Geometric Progression, Sum = a[1-r^15]/(r-1).{r = common ratio }.
It is not possible to answer this question without information on whether the terms are of an arithmetic or geometric (or other) progression, and what the starting term is.
This question is impossible to answer without knowing the difference between successive terms of the progression.
It is 85.
In an arithmetic progression (AP), each term is obtained by adding a constant value to the previous term. In a geometric progression (GP), each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant value. An AP will have a common difference between consecutive terms, while a GP will have a common ratio between consecutive terms.
