I think it is not because it’s also not proportional and they are basically identical except for what b is equal to
The answer is no solution
Answer:
We set up our equations:
35x+40y = 1850 eq1
x+y = 50 eq2
Substituting eq 2 into eq 1,
35x+40(50-x) = 1850
35x+2000-40x = 1850
-5x+2000 = 1850
-5x = -150
x = 30
Substitute value of x into eq 2.
x+y = 50
30+y = 50
y = 20
Car 1 consumes 30 gallons of gas.
Car 2 consumes 20 gallons of gas.
hope this helps
If 8 is the first term, there are 17 terms left to reach the 18th term. So you do -2 x 17 = -34 then do 8 - 34 = -26
