The error is in the second step they subtracted 3 from both sides but it was a 3x, which you can not do.
Correction.
9x+18+3x=1
12x+18=1
12x=-17
x=-17/12

Kristin jogs 48 miles in 50 minutes, so her unit rate is 48miles/50 minutes
First 3 terms are a^2 + n a^(n-)1 b + n(n-1)/2 * a^(n-2) b^2
So q^2 / pr = (n^2 * a^(2n-2) * b^2 ) / (1/2 * a^n * (n(n-1) * a^(n-2) * b^2 )
= n^2 * a^2n-2 * b^2
-----------------------------------
1/2 n(n-1) * a^(2n-2) * b^2
= 2n / n - 1 as required
given p = 4, q=32 and r = 96:-
32^2 / 4*96 = 2n / n-1
2n / n-1 = 8/3
6n = 8n - 8
2n = 8
n = 4 answer
