Solve the system of linear equations by substitution x+4y =37 y = -x + 16

1 answer:

4 0

You plug -x+16 in for y in x+4y=37 to get x after you multiply x+4y=37 by -1.
-x-4(-x+16)=-37
-x+4x-64=-37
3x-64=-37
3x=27
x=9
Then you plug 9 into either equation to get y.
y=-x+16
y=-(9)+16
y=7

x=9 and y=7

If a₁ = 4 and an = 5an-1 then find the value of a5.

igor_vitrenko [27]

The value of $a_{5}$ is 2500, when $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

Given that, $a_{1}=4$ and $5a_{n-1}$ .

We need to find the value of $a_{5}$ .

<h3>What is an arithmetic sequence?</h3>

An arithmetic progression or arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers such that the difference between the consecutive terms is constant.

Now, to find the value of $a_{5}$ :

$a_{2} =5a_{2-1}=5a_{1}=5 \times4=20$
