An = a1 * r^(n-1)
n = term to find = 18
a1 = first term = 3
r = common ratio = 4/3
now we sub
a18 = 3 * 4/3^(18 - 1)
a18 = 3 * 4/3^17
a18 = 3 * 133
a18 = 399

Answer:
The numbers are 23 and 7
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Set up the equations
Let x = the greater number
and y = the smaller number. Then
(1) x - y = 16
4y = 4 times the smaller number and
4y - 5 = 5 less than 4 times the smaller number. Then
(2) x = 4y - 5
You have a system of two equations:

2. Solve the equations

The larger number is 23; the smaller number is 7.
3. Check

OK.
