\[b_{1} = 9;\ \ b_{17} = 65:\]
\[b_{17} = b_{1} + d(17 - 1) = b_{1} + 16d\]
\[9 + 16d = 65\]
\[16d = 56\]
\[d = \frac{56}{16} = 3,5.\]
\[S_{8} = \frac{2b_{1} + (8 - 1)d}{2} \cdot 8 =\]
\[= 4 \cdot \left( 2b_{1} + 7d \right) = 8b_{1} + 28d.\]
\[S_{23} = \frac{2b_{1} + d(23 - 1)}{2} \cdot 23 =\]
\[= 23 \cdot \left( b_{1} + 11d \right) =\]
\[= 23b_{1} + 253d.\]
\[S = S_{23} - S_{8} =\]
\[= 23b_{1} + 253d - 8b_{1} - 28d =\]
\[= 15b_{1} + 225d =\]
\[= 15 \cdot 9 + 225 \cdot 3,5 =\]
\[= 135 + 787,5 = 922,5.\]
\[Ответ:922,5.\]
