Answer:
a = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Simplify 5a - 9 + a to 6a - 9.

2) Add 9 to both sides.

3) Simplify 9 + 9 to 18.

4) Divide both sides by 6.

5) Simplify 18/6 to 3.

Therefor, the answer is, a = 3.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common ratio between consecutive terms
r = 24 ÷ 16 = 36 ÷ 24 = 54 ÷ 36 = 1.5 = 
This indicates the sequence is geometric with nth term ( explicit formula )
f(n) = a₁
where a₁ is the first term and r the common ratio
Here a₁ = 16 and r =
, then
f(n) = 16
→ C
