True. 8*9=72 and 9*9=81. Original ratio is being multiplied by 9/9
(4x2 + 2y)(3x+y^2)
= 12x^3 + 4x^2y^2 + 6xy + 2y^3
coefficient of xy is ----> 6

Since we get a negative number in the next column, we must take 1 from the next column and carry it over to this column. Now the number will be changed to 10.
We calculate

, and the result is

Therefore,
Since you have y alone on one side of the equation......
Use substitution and plug in 1/2x-4 for y in the other equation.

Distribute

Combine like terms

Add 8 to both sides

Divide by 4
and 
Plug this value in for x

Simplify

Multiply everything by 8 and simplify

Divide.....

Your answers are:

Answer:
The 3rd term is

Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information, the first term of the sequence is

The common ratio of the sequence is

The explicit formula for a geometric sequence is :

To find the third term, we put n=3 to get:

This simplifies to:
