Answer:
y = -1, x = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
First, multiply the top equation by 2 to make 3x become 6x:
6x - 8y = -4
Second, multiply the bottom equation by 3 to make -2x become -6x:
9y - 6x = 3
Add the two equations together, and you get:
y = -1
Plug in y as -1 into the first or second equation:
3x - 4(-1) = -2
OR
3(-1) - 2x = 1
x = -2
Since it is a geometric sequence each term will be a specific multiple of the term preceding it, called the common ratio...
126/42=378/126=1134/378=3
The sequence is a(n)=a(3)^(n-1) and we know the second term is 42 so:
42=a(3)^(2-1)
42=3a
a=14
So the first term is 14.
It is 22 cuz 5 * 2 is 10 and 10 * 2 IS 20 + 2=22
