Slope x would be -1 because if you enlarge the triangle on the right to make it even with the triangle on the left, you will get the same answer. I hope this helps you out.

You basically dilate the slope of y to the slope of x by the same scale factor at which all the sides of the triangles are dilated or increased/decreased by.

$a_1=-33;\ a_9=-121\\\\a_9-a_1=8d\\\\8d=-121-(-33)\\8d=-121+33\\8d=-88\ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ 8\\d=-11\\\\a_{32}=a_1+31d\\\\a_{32}=-33+31\cdot(-11)=-33-341=-374\\\\Answer:\boxed{a_{32}=-374}$

What is the solution of the system ? <br> 2x+3y=4 <br> x-y=-3

fgiga [73]

Change the equation, x - y = -3, to isolate x or y and plug that new equation into the equation 2x + 3y = 4

I changed it to: x = y - 3
so
2(y - 3) + 3y = 4
2y - 6 + 3y = 4
5y - 6 = 4
5y = 4 + 6
5y = 10
y = 10/5
y = 2

then you plug that 2 into the equation x = y - 3 to get the value of x

x = (2) - 3
x = -1

you can check this by plugging the x and y values into the equation 2x + 3y = 4

2(-1) + 3(2) = 4
-2 + 6 = 4
4 = 4

hope this helps :)
