The age of Blain is 23 years old
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Let the age of Blain be "a" and age of Jillian be "b"
Given that Blain is two years older than three times Jillians age
So we can frame a equation as:
age of blain = 2 + 3(age of Jillian)
a = 2 + 3b ----- eqn 1
Also given that Jillian is also 16 years younger than Blain
Age of Jillain = Age of Blain - 16
b = a - 16 ---- eqn 2
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
a = 2 + 3(a - 16)
a = 2 + 3a - 48
a - 3a = -46
-2a = -46
a = 23
Thus the age of Blain is 23 years old

Answer:
B. 21
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following remark
-81/-54= -54/-36 = -36/ -24=...= 1.5
the sequence is geometric sequence
the common ratio of the sequence is 1.5
the sum of the five terms of the sequence is
S5= a[1- (1.5)^5 / 1-1.5], a first term,
S5= -42*6.5= - 276
