Let x be the first number

X + 1 be the second number

So

(x+1)^2 – x^2 = 2017

X^2 + 2x +1 – x^2 = 2017

2x + 1 = 2017

2x = 2017 – 1

2x = 2016

X = 1008

X + 1 = 1009

Sum = 1008 + 1009 = 2017

If the cost is a function depending in the number of sections, how much will 200 sections cost?

I would say the answer is D. 7837. Since the common ratio between the x’s and y’s were are 39.5 so multiplying that times 200 gives something around 7900 so, (rounding down) the answer would be D. I really hope that helped! Also please correct me if I am wrong... thanks!
