Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Y=8(32)+12
Y=256+12
Y=268 (Sandra)
Y=8(24)+12
Y=192+12
Y=204 (Bela)
204+268=472

42x can be factored into 7(6x), and 49 is square, meaning it can be factored into 7 squared. I believe the factored expression would be 7(6x + 7) because 7 is the greatest common factor between both numbers.
First term: a1 = 151
common difference: d = -14 (we decrease by 14 each time, eg, 151-14 = 137)
nth term of this arithmetic sequence is...
an = a1+d(n-1)
an = 151+(-14)(n-1)
an = 151-14n+14
an = -14n+165
This will be used in the formula below
Sn = n*(a1+an)/2
<span>Sn = n*(151+(-14n+165))/2
</span><span>S26 = 26*(151+(-14*26+165))/2 ... replace every n with 26
</span>S26 = -624
The final answer here is choice C) -624
