Is 54, 48.4, and 46 increasing linear, decreasing linear, increasing non linear or decreasing non linear how do i find the correct answer?

  decreasing non-linear

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers get smaller (the first, 54, is larger than the last, 46), so they are decreasing.

The differences from one number to the next are not the same, so the decrease is non-linear. (The differences are 48.4 -54 = -5.6, 46 -48.4 = -2.4.)

typically if you want , you would actually put questions here for us to you. but hey, that's just me. maybe someone will magically answer the questions for you without knowing what they are.

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116
