Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

You didn't say what you'll like to calculate but let me help out.

Fourth year = 129 project.

Tenth year = 207 projects

We can form this into an arithmetic progression

Tn = a + (n-1)d

4th year = a + 3d = 129 ........ i

10th year = a + 9d = 207 ....... ii

Subtract equation i from equation ii

6d = 78

d = 78/6 = 13

This means that 13 new projects are added every year

For the first year, the number of projects done was:.

a + 3d = 129

a + 3(13) = 129

a + 39 = 129

a = 129 - 39 = 90

She worked on 90 projects in the first year.
