Answer:

They caught 152 fish on Thursday.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Evelina took 50m people fishing each day last week.

We are given that

Number of fish caught on Monday=203

Number of fish caught on Tuesday=186

Number of fish caught on Wednesday=169

Number of fish caught on Friday=135

Number of fish caught on Saturday=118

Difference between the number of fish caught in Monday and Tuesday=203-186=17

Difference between the number of fish caught in two days Tuesday and Wednesday=186-169=17

Difference between the number of fish caught in two days Friday and Saturday=135-118=17

From this pattern we can see that the number of fish caught on every next day is deceased by 17 from the previous day.

If the number of fish caught on Wednesday=169

Then the number of fish caught on Thursday=169-17=152

Hence, the number of fish caught on Thursday= 152.

Therefore, they caught 152 fish on Thursday.

Well the fish is decreasing 17 per day so you would have to subtract 17 from 169. This will give you teh answer of 152. This means that on Thursday they 152 fishes. Hope this helped

Answer:

(a).

$S_{n} = \frac{n}{2} (4n + 20) \\ \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n - 4 + 20) \\ \\ S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)}{2} (4n + 16) \\ \\S _{n - 1} = \frac{(n - 1)(4n + 16)}{2} \\ \\ { \boxed{S _{n - 1} = {2 {n}^{2} + 6n - 8}}} \\$
