Emmanuel is writing a novel. He writes 10 pages on the first day. Every day after that, Emmanuel writes 16 more pages. Let y represent the total number of pages Emmanuel writes after x days. Which type of sequence does the situation represent?

A. The situation represents an arithmetic sequence because the successive y-values have a common difference of 16.
B. The situation represents a geometric sequence because the success y-values have a common ratio of 6.
C. The situation represents an arithmetic sequence because the successive y-values have a common difference of 16.
D. The situation represents a geometric sequence because of the successive y-valued have a common ratio of 16.

First, think of what you know. you know that the number t the end of the equation will need to be subtracted because it is the money he lost from buying the lawn mower. and your first two weeks have negative profit, so that tells you that c and d are wrong. now you can plug any of the weeks into a and b to see which one works. i'll start with plugging week 1 into a.this isn't right because it says your answer for week one should be -90.so now we need to try the same thing with b.this one got you the right answer, (sometimes if you only check with one of the weeks multiple will work so you need to check with more of the weeks, but it worked out fine here)this means that b is the correct answer.let me know if you need more clarification. i hope this : )
