This is NOT an arithmetic sequence because there is no common difference. It is a geometric sequence because there is a common ratio. Meaning that each term is a constant ratio or multiple of the previous term. The recursive rule for this geometric sequence is:

a(n)=3*a(n-1), a(1)=3

What choice is a solution to the system of equations? y=2x-3 y-9=-x

Tema [17]

Answer:

$(4,5)\ or\ x=4,y=5$

Step-by-step explanation:

$We\ are\ given:\\y=2x-3\\y-9=-x\\Now,\ lets\ separate\ all\ the\ constant\ terms\ to\ the\ RHS\ and\ the\ variable\\ terms\ to\ the\ LHS.\\Hence,\\y-2x=-3\\y+x=9\\By\ subtracting\ the\ two\ equations:\\(y-2x)-(y+x)=(-3)-(9)\\Hence\ lets\ simplify\ this\ main\ equation: \\y-2x-(y+x)=-3-9\\y-2x-y-x=-12\\-3x=-12\\x=\frac{-12}{-3}=4\\\\Now,\ lets\ consider\ the\ second\ equation\ in\ the\ solution:\\y-9=-x\\Substituting\ x=4,\\y-9=-(4)\\y-9=-4\\y=-4+9\\y=5\\$
