By solving a system of equations, we will see that the 43th term of the sequence is 80.3

<h3>How to determine the sequence?</h3>

We know that the n-th term of a sequence is given by:

a_n = a_1*(r)^{n-1}

Here we do know:

a_{23} = 16 = a_1*(r)^{22}\\\\a_{28} = 24 = a_1*(r)^{27}

Basically, we have a system of equations that we can use to find the value of r and the first term of the sequence. If we take the quotient of the two above equations we get:

\frac{24}{16} = \frac{a_1*(r)^{27}}{a_1*(r)^{22}} \\\\1.5 = r^{27 - 22} = r^5\\\\\sqrt[5]{1.5} = r = 1.084

Now we know the value of r, we can use it to find the value of the first term, I will use the first equation:

16 = a_1*(1.084)^{22}\\\\a_1 = \frac{16}{1.084^{22}}  = 2.713

Now we know that the n-th term of our sequence is given by:

a_n = 2.713*(1.084)^{n-1}

Then the 43th term is:

a_{43} = 2.713*(1.084)^{43-1} = 80.3

Answer:

{10,8}

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x + 4y = -62

4x + 5y = 0

let's eliminate the x

-3x + 4y = -62 | x -4 |

4x + 5y = 0 | x 3 |

12x - 16y = 248

12x + 15y = 0

-------------------- -

-31y = 248

y = 248/(-31) = 8

since you must do this proble with elimination, we cant use subtitution. so we repeat the way once more to find x (eliminate y)

-3x + 4y = -62 | x 5 |

4x + 5y = 0 | x 4 |

-15x + 20y = -310

16x + 20y = 0

-------------------- -

-31x = -310

x = -310/-31 = 10
