Answer:

5x + 4y = 7 × -2

-2x - 2y = 8 × 5

-10x - 8y = -14

-10x - 10y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

2y = -54 ÷2

y = -27

Now substitute the value of y into equation (1)

5x + 4y = 7

5x + 4(-27) = 7

5x = 7 + 108

5x = 115

X = 23

What is the sum of the arithmetic sequence 6, 14, 22,<br> if there are 26 terms

Arisa [49]

Sum of nth term of arithmetic sequence is given by Sn = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]
Here, a = 6, n = 26 and d = 14 - 6 = 8
S26 = 26/2[2(6) + (26 - 1)8] = 13[12 + 25(8)] = 2,756
