24 - 16 = 8
36 - 24 = 12
54 - 36 = 18

So, obviously, this isn't an arithmetic sequence.

24/16 = 3/2
36/24 = 3/2
54/36 = 3/2

Aha! This is a geometric sequence.

Now, let's find the 7th term in this sequence!

a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}

We're trying to solve for a_7.
We know that a_1 is 16
We know that n = 7
We know that r = 3/2 or 1.5

Plug it in!

a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{n-1}\\\\a_7 =16 \cdot 1.5^{7-1}\\\\a_7 = 16 \cdot 1.5^6\\\\a_7 = 16 \cdot 11.390625\\\\\boxed{\bf{ a_7 = 182.25}}

The seventh term is 182.25

Resolucion de {3x+5y=29 <br> {2x+3y=18
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

x=3  y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+5y=29  .........*2 (multiply by2)  =       6x+10y=58

2x+3y=18          *-3 = (multiply by -3)=     -6x-9y = -54

     ADD both(-6x cancels 6x)                            y= 4

2x+ 3y = 18      2x+ 12 = 18   2x = 6                x = 3
