\[x_{8} = - 14;\ \ x_{30} = - 3\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} x_{1} + 7d = - 14 \\ x_{1} + 29d = - 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ ( - )\text{\ \ \ }\]
\[\ \left\{ \begin{matrix} - 22d = - 11\ \ \ \\ x_{1} = - 14 - 7d \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \text{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\]
\[\ \left\{ \begin{matrix} d = 0,5\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \\ x_{1} = - 14 - 7 \cdot 0,5 \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \text{\ \ \ \ \ }\]
\[\left\{ \begin{matrix} d = 0,5\ \ \ \ \ \ \\ x_{1} = - 17,5 \\ \end{matrix} \right.\ \]
\[S_{40} = \frac{2x_{1} + 39d}{2} \cdot 40 =\]
\[= \left( 2x_{1} + 39d \right) \cdot 20 =\]
\[= \left( 2 \cdot ( - 17,5) + 39 \cdot 0,5 \right) \cdot 20 =\]
\[= \left( - 35 + \frac{39}{2} \right) \cdot 20 =\]
\[= - 700 + 390 = - 310\]
\[Ответ:\ - 310.\]
