Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In a geometric sequence, consecutive terms differ by a common ratio. The formula for determining the nth term of a geometric progression is expressed as

an = a1r^(n - 1)

Where

a represents the first term of the sequence.

r represents the common ratio.

n represents the number of terms.

From the given sequence,

a1 = - 5

r = 15/- 5 = - 3

Therefore, the explicit rule for this sequence is

an = - 5(- 3)^n - 1

use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair. y=4x 8x+y=18
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

(3/2, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x

8x + y = 18

this says y is 4x so you can replace y with 4x

8x + 4x = 18

12x = 18

/12      /12

  x  = 3/2


now sub x into y = 4(3/2)

y = 12/2

y = 6
