.A fireplace contains 46 bricks along its bottom row. If each row above decreases by 4 bricks, how many bricks are on the 12th row? (1 point). This is an arithmetic sequence because?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because the number of bricks every row is decreasing by a fixed number, it is 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there will be 2 bricks

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i wrote at first..do you know what is an arithmetic sequence ?

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

an arithmetic progression (AP) or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

For instance, the sequence 2,5,8,11,14 … is an arithmetic progression with common difference of 3.
