Given equations are;<span>
2a + 3b = -1   ..................equation 1
3a + 5b = -2  ....................equation 2</span>

Now multiply equation 1 with (-3)

The equation will be;

-6a -9b = 3 …………………..equation 3

Now multiply equation 2 with (2)

The equation will be;

6a + 10b = -4 ……………..equation 4

Now add equation 3 and equation 4

-6a – 9b = 3

<span>6a  + 10b = -4</span>

<span>------------------------------</span>

0a + b = -1

b = -1

Now put the value of b in equation 1

2a + 3(-1) = -1

2a -3 = -1

2a = -1+3

2a = 2

a=1

Thus the solution is (a,b) = (1,-1)

PLEASE HELP!!!! i REALLY NEED TO GET THIS DONE AND AM HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS ONE!!!!
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)

a[1] = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

The terms of a geometric sequence have an initial term and a common ratio. The common ratio multiplies the previous term to get the next one. That sentence describes the recursive relation.

The general explicit term of a geometric sequence is ...

  a[n] = a[1]×r^(n-1) . . . . . where a[1] is the first term and r is the common ratio

Comparing this to the expression you are given, you see that ...

  a[1] = 1/2

  r = 4/3

(You also see that parenthses are missing around the exponent expression, n-1.)

A recursive rule is defined by two things:

  1. the starting value(s) for the recursive relation
  2. the recursive relation relating the next term to previous terms

The definition of a geometric sequence tells you the recursive relation is:

  <em>the next term is the previous one multiplied by the common ratio</em>.

In math terms, this looks like

  a[n] = a[n-1]×r

Using the value of r from above, this becomes ...

  a[n] = a[n-1]×(4/3)

Of course, the starting values are the same for the explicit rule and the recursive rule:

  a[1] = 1/2

Identificación de la intención del mensaje o del texto leído​
Neko [114]

Answer:

La identificación de la intención del mensaje o del texto leído no es otra cosa que la interpretación del mismo. Es decir, a través de la lectura y la identificación de las diferentes variables comunicativas, el lector realiza un análisis del contenido del texto y lo interpreta, buscando dilucidar la intención que el redactor tuvo al momento de escribir el mensaje o texto en cuestión. La interpretación de textos es fundamental para poder comprender lo que se encuentra redactado, es decir, para poder lograr una total comprensión del texto.

NARA [144]

Answer:

7(7x -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

49x-28

We can factor a 7 from each term

49x = 7*7x

28 = 7*4

7(7x -4)
