12/x = 52/48
12 * 48 = 52x
x = 11.07 This is one way to do it.
Let the time = x
Let the part of the lawn = y
The general equation
y = k*x
52/100 = k * 12
k = 0.043333
y = 0.043333*x
y = 0.043333* 11.08
y = 0.48 which is what it should be.
Yet another way is to let y = kx
52 = k*12
k = 52/12
k = 4.33333333
y = 4.333333 * x
y = 4.333333 * 48
48 = 4.333333 * x
x = 11.07 which is just what you should expect.
So, we know the sum of the first 17 terms is -170, thus S₁₇ = -170, and we also know the first term is 2, well

well, since the 17th term is that much, let's check what "d" is then anyway,
Answer:
= 9
Step-by-step explanation:
We need to find
which will make an equivalent fraction statement.

5 x 6 = 30
x 6 = 54 (to find
we should do 54 ÷ 6 which = 9)
So:

= 9
hope this helps :)
