Answer:

B)blocks in 5th row=15+(5-1)(-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Number of block in bottom row=15

Each row has 2 fewer blocks than the previous row

We have to find the formula would you use to find the number of blocks in the 5th row.

Number of blocks in  second row=15-2=[tex]15+1(-2)[/tex]

Number of blocks in third row=15-2-2=[tex]15+2(-2)[/tex]

Number of blocks in 4th row=[tex]15-2-2-2=15+3(-2)[/tex]

Number of blocks in 5th row=[tex]15-2-2-2-2=15+4(-2)[/tex]

Therefore, number of block in 5th row

[tex]15+(5-1)(-2)[/tex]

This is required formula to find the number of blocks in the 5th row

Hence, option B is true.

B)blocks in 5th row=15+(5-1)(-2)
