Hello there,
If you are putting 28 on the less than side it is.
Correct
30>28
Incorrect
28>30
Hope this helped!
You can try them out and see which one works.
a: f(2) = f(1) +6 = 5+6 = 11 . . . . . . not this one
b: f(1) = f(2) -6 = -1-6 = -7 . . . . . . not this one (5 ≠ -7)
c: f(2) = f(1) - 6 = 5 - 6 = -1 . . . . . this gives the right f(2)
d: f(2 = -6(f(1) = -6(5) = -30 . . . . not this one

The appropriate choice is ...
... f(n +1) = f(n) - 6
— — — — —
You can also recognize that the next term is 6 less than the current one, so f(n+1) = f(n) - 6, which corresponds to the 3rd selection.
distance = speed * time
the first bus speed = x
second bus = x - 12
the sum of distance = 765 miles
first distance = 6x
second distance = 6 (x -12)
6x + 6(x-12) = 765
x + x -12 = 127.5
2x = 139.5
x = 69.75 mi/h which is the faster bus
the second bus speed = 57.75 mi/h
1199.3 (I'm assuming you mean round to the nearest tenth)
The ratio of areas is the square of the ratio of linear dimensions. The smaller area is
.. (27 in^2)*(8/12)^2 = 27*(4/9) in^2 = 12 in^2
