Answer:

The 9th number is 28.

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the common difference by d and the first term by f.

We can then write a formula for the nth term of this arithmetic sequence as follows;

a(n) = f+d(n-1)

We are told that the fifth term is 16; therefore, a(5) = 4+d(5-1) = 16.  We need to solve this equation for d.

Performing the indicated multiplication:  4 + 4d = 16.

Subtracting 4 from both sides:  4d = 12

Isolating d by dividing both sides by 4:  d = 3

Then the general formula for this sequence is a(n) = 4 + 3(n-1).

The 9th number in this sequence is thus a(9) = 4 + 3(9-1), or

a(9) = 4 + 3(8) = 28

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

(1, 4)  

Step-by-step explanation:

\text{It looks as if "they" are asking you to solve the problem graphically.}\\\text{Then, you must solve each equation for y, plot a few points for each graph,}\\ \text{and see where each graph intersects. }

\begin{array}{rcl}(1) & 2x + 3y = 12 & \\& 3y = 12 - 2x& \text{Subtracted 2x from each side}\\ & y = 4 - \dfrac{2}{3}x & \text{Divided each side by3}\\\\(2) & 4x + 2y =10& \\& 2y = 10 - 4x& \text{Subtracted 2x from each side}\\ & y = 5 - 2x & \text{Divided each side by 2}\\\end{array}\\

Below are a few points for Equations (1) and (2).}

\begin{array}{cc|cc}\mathbf{x} & \mathbf{y} & \mathbf{x} & \mathbf{y}\\0 & 4 & 0 & 5\\& & 1 & 3\\& & 2 & 1\\3 & 2 & &\\6 & 0 & &\\\end{array}\\

Equation (1) is the blue line in the graph below.

Equation (2) is the red line.

The two lines cross at the black dot

Your four points are labelled . The one that is closest to the intersection is (1, 4).

The approximate solution to the system of equations is (1, 4).
