Alejandro was asked to solve a system of linear equations by using the substitution method. What is the error in his work below?

Step 1: 4y + x = 15 −9x + 5y = 20 Step 2: 4y + x = 15 x = 15 − 4y Step 3: 4y + x = 15 4y + (15 − 4y) = 15 4y + 15 − 4y = 15 15 = 15 There are infinitely many solutions to the system of linear equations

Step 1:
4y + x = 15
−9x + 5y = 20

Step 2: correct
4y + x = 15
x = 15 − 4y

Step 3: wrong
4y + x = 15
4y + (15 − 4y) = 15 wrong step
4y + 15 − 4y = 15
15 = 15
***once you have solved for a variable in one equation, you substitute it in the other equation

Corrected Step 3:
−9x + 5y = 20
-9(15 - 4y) + 5y= 20
(-9*15) + (-9*-4y) + 5y= 20
-135 + 36y + 5y= 20
-135 + 41y= 20
add 135 to both sides
41y= 155
divide both sides by 41
y= 155/41 or 3 32/41 or 3.78


ANSWER: The x value in step 2 should have been substituted in the opposite equation in step 3. The y solution would then be 155/41 or 3 32/41 or 3.78

Hope this helps! :) Would love to be marked brainliest.

To describe a specific arithmetic sequence, Elijah wrote the recursive formula:
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

t_{n}  = 30 + 7n, where, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .........

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the arithmetic sequence in recursive formula.

f(0) = 30 and f(n + 1) = f(n) + 7 ......... (1)

Therefore, putting n = 0 in equation (1) we get f(1) = f(0) + 7 = 30 + 7 = 37 {Since, f(0) is given to be 30}

Again, putting n = 1 in equation (1) we get f(2) = f(1) + 7 = 37 + 7 = 44

And, putting n = 2 in equation (1) we get f(3) = f(2) + 7 = 44 + 7 = 51

and so on.

Therefore, the arithmetic sequence is 30, 37, 44, 51, .......

Therefore, the linear equation of this sequence is given by t_{n}  = 30 + 7n, where, n = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, .........

A function is shown in the table:
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

The function is increasing from x = -2 to x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph starts at -2 and is increasing by 1. it would not be "The function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1" because it does not start at 0. it starts at -2. even though they both increase by 1, the starting point answer is always the best option.
