Answer:

The first one is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

It's an arithmetic sequence. It has a common difference.

d = an - a_n-1

an = -12x + 12

a_n-1 = - 7x + 8

d = -12x + 12 - (-7x + 8)

d = -12x + 12 + 7x - 8

d = -5x + 4

Try  it. Let's try for the third term

-12x + 12 - 5x + 4

- 17x + 15 which is exactly what the third term is.

Roberto decorates rectangular signs. One sign is 2/3 foot long and 1/4 foot wide. Another sign is 1/2 foot long and 1/3 foot wid
nordsb [41]

Answer: It takes Him 1/4 hours to decorate both signs,

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, since the area of a rectangle is equal to:

Area: length x width

Replacing with the values given;

Sign 1 =A1 = 2/3 x 1/4 =1/6 ft2

Sign 2 =A2= 1/2 x 1/3 = 1/6 ft2

If we sum both areas:

A1 +A2 = 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/6 ft2 = 1/3 ft2 (total area)

Since it takes Roberto 3/4 hour to decorate a 1-square-foot sign:

For 1/3 ft2

3/4 hour x 1/3 ft2 = 1/4 h

ITt takes Him 1/4 hours to decorate both signs,
