How is the series 6+13+20+...+111 represented in summation notation?

Notice that

6 + 7 = 13

13 + 7 = 20

so if the pattern continues, the underlying sequence in this series is arithmetic with first term a = 6 and difference d = 7. This means the k-th term in the sequence is

a + (k - 1) d = 6 + 7 (k - 1) = 7k - 1

The last term in the series is 111, which means the series consists of 16 terms, since

7k - 1 = 111   ==>   7k = 112   ==>   k = 16

Then in summation notation, we have

[tex]\displaystyle 6+13+20+\cdots+111 = \boxed{\sum_{k=1}^{16}(7k-1)}[/tex]
