Suppose you are building 10 steps with 8 concrete blocks in the top step and 80 blocks in the last step. If the number of blocks in each step forms an arithmetic sequence, state the values of n, a₁, and a_n. Determine the total number of blocks needed to build these steps using your series formula. Make sure you type out your work.
