Problem of the Week - Just Sum Numbers

Kaori writes a sequence with the property that after the first two terms in the sequence, each term is equal to one more than the term before it, minus the term before that. In other words, $t_n = 1 + t_{n−1} − t_{n−2}$, for $n ≥ 3$, where $tn$ denotes the n th term in the sequence. 
The first term in Kaori’s sequence is x and the second term is $y$, where $x$ and $y$ are real numbers. That is, $t_1 = x$ and $t_2 = y$. Determine the sum of the first $2021$ terms in her sequence, as an expression in terms of $x$ and $y$.

  1. t1=x
    t2=y
    t3=1+y-x
    t4=2-x
    t5=2-y
    t6=1-y+x

    t7=x
    t8=y
    .....

    t1+t3+..+t6 = t7+t8+..t12= ...= 6

    t1+t3+..+t5 = t2017+..t2021 = 5-x+y

    Ο 2021 έχει 336 εξάδες και 1 πεντάδα, άρα το άθροισμα των 2021 αρχικών όρων της ακολουθίας είναι (336×6)+(5-x+y) = 2021-x+y
