465+18 = 483
The fraction was just to throw you off, it's not too hard if you look carefully since you get a whole number from it
This answer uses NMF, which you can find out about on my profile:
Preliminary work:
Following the BIDMAS order of operations, we can calculate part of it already, and that's the 2•4, which equals 8.
Therefore, the equation now reads:
8+x = y
x = 5:
8+5 = 13
13 ≠ 16
13 ≠ y
x = 4:
8+4 = 12
12 = 12
12 = y
Therefore, the pair is (4, 12)
Year New flowers
1 1200
2 300
3 75
There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year
Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by 
So first term is 1200 and common ratio is
.
Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes
i =1∑ ∞ 1200(
Now we find the sum
We use sum formula

Where a is the first term , a= 1200
r is the common ratio , r= 1/4


Sum = 1600 wildflowers
