The equation you'd make would be (2x-2)+(2x-2)+x+x=20 because the length is 2 m less than the width (x). To simplify, it'd be 6x-4=20 because you combine like terms. You then move the -4 over to the 20 to make it 6x=24. The final answer is 4 meters.
The nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8
<h3>Equation of a function</h3>
The nth term of an arithmetic progression is expressed as;
Tn = a + (n - 1)d
where
a is the first term
d is the common difference
n is the number of terms
Given the following parameters
a = f(1)=−6
f(2) = −4
Determine the common difference
d = f(2) - f(1)
d = -4 - (-6)
d = -4 + 6
d = 2
Determine the nth term of the sequence
Tn = -6 + (n -1)(2)
Tn = -6+2n-2
Tn = 2n - 8
Hence the nth term of the sequence is 2n - 8

There are

female teachers, and

male teachers.
This means that, out of a total of 75 teachers, 45 are female, leading to a probability of

of selecting a female teacher.
If we restrict to those with more than 8 years service, there are 13 female teachers and 7 male teachers.
So, out of a total of 21 teachers, there are 13 female teachers, leading to a probability of

of selecting a female teacher.
