\[\boxed{\mathbf{798\ (798).\ }Еуроки\ - \ ДЗ\ без\ мороки}\]
\[a_{1} = 24;\ \ d = - 8\]
\[a_{8} = a_{1} + 7d = 24 - 7 \cdot 8 =\]
\[= 24 - 56 = - 32\]
\[a_{26} = a_{1} + 25d = 24 - 25 \cdot 8 =\]
\[= 24 - 200 = - 176\]
\[n = 26 - 8 + 1 = 19\]
\[S_{19} = \frac{a_{8} + a_{26}}{2} \cdot 19 =\]
\[= \frac{- 32 - 176}{2} \cdot 19 =\]
\[= - 104 \cdot 19 = - 1976\]
\[Ответ:\ - 1976.\]
