So
a be first term and d be common difference
- a+a+2d+a+4d+a+6d+a+9d=17
- 5a+21d=17--(1)
And
- a+d+a+3d+a+5d+a+7d+a+9d=15
- 5a+25d=15--(2)
Eq(1)-Eq(2)
Put in second one
- 5a+25d=15
- a+5d=3
- a+5/2=15
- a=15-5/2
- a=25/2
The correct answer is A.
To create the line linger than AB, a straightedge was used.
To measure AB, a protractor was used.
This is how CD was created.
Best of Luck!


you can check in your calculator.
anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.
