Answer:
The 9th term would be 10.
Step-by-step explanation:
Each of the odd terms is 2 more than the previous. We do not even need to look at the even terms to find the 9th one.
2, odd, 4, odd, 6, odd, 8, odd, 10
The given system of equations in augmented matrix form is

So the solution to this system is
.
Answer:
During 15 hour period, 1409.7 mg of dextrose will be delivered.
The flow rate of dextrose per hour will be 93.98 mg/hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
If a total of 3.81 liters of the solution is given over a 15 hour period.
Now, 1 liter is equivalent to 1000 ml
So, a total of 3810 ml of the solution is given over a 15 hour period.
If 100 ml of solution contains 37 mg of dextrose, then 3810 ml of the solution will contain
mg of dextrose.
So, during the 15 hour period, 1409.7 mg of dextrose will be delivered.
The flow rate of dextrose per hour will be
mg/hour. (Answer)
100 - 5 is 95. So take the 95 and since you dont know the variable you add the N to the answer.
So the answer is 95n
