C is the answer yeah yeah
I gotchu my guy let me know what you need help with I’d gladly revive those free points
<span>The sum of two numbers is 48.
a + b = 48
;
If one third of one number is 5 greater than one sixth of another number,
a = b + 5
multiply both sides by 6, cancel the fractions
2a = b + 30
2a - b = 30
</span><span>use elimination to solve this
a + b = 48
2a - b =30
-------------Addition eliminates b, find a
3a = 78
a =
a = 26
then
26 + b = 48
b = 48 - 26
b = 22</span>
It's both. Look at the gradients between one point then the one after it. It stays constant from one to the next. (Gradient is 2 by the way: (5-3)/(2-1))
