Help pleaseeeeee. I’m confused. I’ll thank u

Answer 1

Answer:  See Below

Step-by-step explanation:

(b) Make a table of white ovals and black ovals.  You will notice that

white starts with 3 and adds 3 to each design → 3 + 3(d - 1) = 3d

black starts with 4 and adds 4 to each design → 4 + 4(d - 1) = 4d

$\begin{array}{c|c|c}\underline{\text{Design \#}}&\underline{\text{white ovals}}&\underline{\text{black ovals}}\\1&3&4\\2&6&8\\3&9&12\\4&3(4)=12&4(4)=16\\5&3(5)=15&4(5)=20\\6&3(6)=18&4(6)=24\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\n&3n&4n\end{array}$

white ovals when design = 30   --->    3d = 3(30) = 90

black ovals when design = 100   --->   4d = 4(100) = 400

white ovals when design = 50   --->   3d = 3(50) = 150

black ovals when design = 50   --->   4d = 4(50) = 200

                                                                  TOTAL = 350

(c) Make a table of rods and squares.  You will notice that

rods start with 19 and add 12 to each design → 19 + 12(d - 1) = 12d - 7

squares start with 6 and add 4 to each design → 6 + 4(d - 1) = 4d + 2

$\begin{array}{c|c|c}\underline{\text{Design \#}}&\underline{\qquad \text{rods}\qquad }&\underline{\qquad \text{squares}\qquad }\\1&19&6\\2&31&10\\3&43&14\\4&12(4)-7=55&4(4)+2=18\\5&12(5)-7=67&4(5)+2=22\\6&12(6)-7=79&4(6)+2=26\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\\cdot&\cdot&\cdot\\n&12n-7&4n+2\end{array}$

rods when design = 15   --->    12d - 7 = 12(15) - 7 = 173

squares when design = 15   --->   4d + 2 = 4(15) + 2 = 62
