1/3 x - 1/2 = 18 1/2
1/3 x = 19 (add 1/2 on the right side to 18 1/2)
x = 57 (multiply the reciprocal of 1/3 and that will be 3/1 or 3 to 19 to get x by itself)
So, the answer is x = 57 (d. 57)

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence you are just multiplying basically. To go from 36 to 24, you multiply by 2/3, and the same will be with the next term. When you multiply 24 by 2/3 you get 16.

Classify the following system of equations.

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

B) consistent, dependent

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system is

45x - 30y = -90

-12x + 8y = 24

Let us make y the subject in both equations to get:

Top equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}y + 3$

Bottom equation

$y = \frac{3}{2}x + 3$

We can see that both equations are identically the same.

There is going to be infinitely many solutions.

We say the system is consistent and dependent.

The correct choice is B
