Scrat [10]3 years ago

Y has a coefficient of 1 in the first equation, so it is easiest to use that one to write an expression for y.

... y = 20 - 2x . . . . . subtract 2x

Now, this expression can be substituted for y in the second equation.

6x-5(20-2x)=12\qquad\text{substituted for y}\\6x-100+10x=12\qquad\text{eliminate parentheses}\\16x=112\qquad\text{add 100}\\\\x=\dfrac{112}{16}=7\qquad\text{divide by the x-coefficient}

Then, using the expression for y, we find its value

... y = 20 -2·7 = 6

The solution of the equations is (x, y) = (7, 6).

Given that aₙ = (-2) (5)ⁿ⁻1 for a geometric sequence, determine the common ratio:
patriot [66]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The nth term of the geometric sequence is

a_n=(-2)(5)^{n-1}

In general the nth term of a geometric sequence is

a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}

By comparism;

r=5 is the common ratio of the sequence.

Or

a_1=(-2)(5)^{1-1}=-2

a_2=(-2)(5)^{2-1}=-10

Common ratio is

r=\frac{-10}{-2}=5

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The answer for part A: If the city is hotter in temperature more people will want the cold refreshing lemonade.

Part B: The line of best fit is a line that will have the same amount of point on each side so you should draw a straight line and then make sure it has the same amount of point on each side. To calculate the slope use Y2-Y1/X2-X1, Y-intercept is the point that intercepts the Y-intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: Because if it is hot outside you will sweat more being less hydrated which is why more people would want a drink especially lemonade.
