You do 5 times x and -2 so you’d get 5x-10=7. Then add 10 to both sides to get 5x=17 and divide 17/5 to get 3.4
We can verify this with the graph

Dana can fill 12 planters. Let me know if you want an explanation!
Year New flowers
1 1200
2 300
3 75
There were 1200 wildflowers in the first year that the park started tracking them. Since then, there have been one fourth as many new flowers each year
Initially there are 1200 flowers and start decreasing by 
So first term is 1200 and common ratio is
.
Its a geometric sequence so summation becomes
i =1∑ ∞ 1200(
Now we find the sum
We use sum formula

Where a is the first term , a= 1200
r is the common ratio , r= 1/4


Sum = 1600 wildflowers
