Michelle can fold 4/54 baskets per minute = 8/108 baskets per minute.
Ruby can fold 4/108 baskets per minute.
Each minute Michelle and Ruby work together, they can fold
8/108 +4/108 = 12/108 = 1/9
of a basket of clothes. For 8 baskets of clothes, it will take them
(8 baskets)/(1/9 baskets/minute) = 72 minutes
Inverse all of the signs it will be (x-6)/3

Let's start from what we know.

Note that:

(sign of last term will be + when n is even and - when n is odd).
Sum is finite so we can split it into two sums, first

with only positive trems (squares of even numbers) and second

with negative (squares of odd numbers). So:

And now the proof.
1) n is even.
In this case, both

and

have

terms. For example if n=8 then:

Generally, there will be:

Now, calculate our sum:



So in this case we prove, that:

2) n is odd.
Here,

has more terms than

. For example if n=7 then:

So there is

terms in

,

terms in

and:

Now, we can calculate our sum:




We consider all possible n so we prove that:
