Answer:

  20,176,803

Step-by-step explanation:

This geometric series has a first term of 3 and a common ratio of 21/3 = 7. The formula for the sum of n terms of a series with first term a1 and common ratio r is ...

 Sn = a1·(r^n -1)/(r -1)

For a1=3, n=9, and r=7, the sum is ...

  S9 = 3·(7^9 -1)/(7 -1) = 3·40353606/6 = 20,176,803

The sum of the first 9 terms is 20,176,803.

_____

The first 9 terms are ...

  3 +21 +147 +1029 +7203 +

  50,421 +352,947 +2,470,629 +17,294,403

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
