Answer:

[tex]S_5=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The sum of first n term of a sequence is[tex]S_n=20-\dfrac{10}{2n-1}[/tex]

We need to find the sum of the first 5 terms.

Put n = 5,

[tex]S_5=20-\dfrac{10}{2(5)-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{10-1}\\\\=20-\dfrac{10}{9}\\\\=\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex]

So, the sum of first 5 terms is equal to [tex]\dfrac{170}{9}[/tex].
