The next number in the sequence is 36.
Starting from 1, the number increases by 3, 1 + 3 = 4. But the next number, the number it's being increased by increases by 2. 3 + 2 = 5, 4 + 5 = 9. And again, 5 + 2 = 7, 7 + 9 = 16. And again. 7 + 2 = 9, 16 + 9 = 25. Therefore, it is increased to + 11, and the next number is 36.
I hope this helped, and you have a great day!
The point of elimination is to have one variable so example
3x + 2y = 4
7X + 3y = 5
1) Try to find a way to have one variable
7(3x + 2y = 4) ----> 21x + 14y = 28
-3(7x+ 3y = 5) -----> -21x -9y = -15
2) add
0 + 5y = 13
3) solve for the last variable
5y = 13
y = 13/5 = 2 3/5 = 2.8
4) Subsitute the variable to get the other one
3x + 2(2.8) = 4
3x + 5.6 = 4
3x = -1.6
x = 0.533333333 (continue)
The intersection would be 0.53 with a line above the 3 and 2.8. (0.5333 , 2.8)
Hope you understand!!
answer to the problem is x=2/3
