Expand out, this literally just wants you to multiply everything by -1.
so 7*-1 = -7
-c*-1 = c
thus putting them together to get -7+c which is just c-7
First, let’s find the area of the larger square. We know that the smaller square extend out 2ft and is2ft up. Well take these measures, and subtract the 2ft from the 12 ft at the top, and get 10ft, then add the 2ft to the left side, and find that it’s 6ft. We have these measures: 6ft 6ft 10ft 10ft for the larger rectangle. Let’s find the area. The are formula for a rectangle is Base(10ft) times height(6ft) . Thus 60ftsqrd. Next, let’s do the smaller rectangle. We do the same formula, 4 times 2, and get 8ftsqrd, add them together: 60ft + 8ft = 68ft!
12:5 is what you are looking for. 12/5 in fraction form
We can see the sequence goes by decreasing 9 on each number
so the numbers are
2, -7, -16, -25, -34, -43, -52, -61, -70
so adding all these numbers we get
2-7-16-25-34-43-52-61-70
= -306
hope this helped
