There exist positive integers n and k such that

$$32 \binom{6}{6} + 31 \binom{7}{6} + 30 \binom{8}{6} + \dots + 3 \binom{35}{6} + 2 \binom{36}{6} + \binom{37}{6} = \binom{n}{k}$$
Enter the ordered pair (n, k)

a=1;b=2; c =a nCr b; if(c==61523748, goto loop, goto next);loop:printa,b;next:a++;if(a<100, goto2, discard=0;a=1;b=b+1;if(b<100, goto2, 0)

[n , k] = 39, 8   and  39, (39 - 8) =39, 31 = 61,523,748

because 61,523,748 is not an ordered pair. and you need parentheses around it too, be sure to clarify what the answer is

What are [39, 8] and [39, 31] ????. 39 nCr 8 =39 nCr 31 =61,523,748 - which is the total sum of your sequence!!!.

There exist positive integers n and k such that

$$32 \dbinom{6}{6} + 31 \dbinom{7}{6} + 30 \dbinom{8}{6} + \dots + 3 \dbinom{35}{6} + 2 \dbinom{36}{6} + \dbinom{37}{6} = \dbinom{n}{k}$$
Enter the ordered pair $$(n, k)$$

Using the hockey stick identity: $$\sum \limits_{i=r}^{n} \dbinom{i}{r} = \dbinom{n+1}{r+1} \qquad \text{for } n,r\in \mathbb{N},\quad n \geq r$$
