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.)

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
