Answer: a_{n}=a_{n-1}-3  ,  n\geq 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a_{1} = 18

The common difference = -3

Therefore :

a_{n}=a_{n-1}-3  ,  n\geq 2

check:

when n = 2

a_{2}= a_{1}-3

a_{2}=18-3 = 15

Whats the answer to: 3x + 5y = 2 9x + 11y = 14
valkas [14]

\begin{gathered}\{\begin{array}{ccc}3x+5y=2&|\cdot(-3)\\9x+11y=14\end{array}\\\underline{+\{\begin{array}{ccc}-9x-15y=-6\\9x+11y=14\end{array}}\ \ |\text{add both sides of equations}\\.\ \ \ \ \ -4y=8\ \ \ |:(=4)\\.\ \ \ \ \ y=-2\\\\\text{substitute the value of y to the first equation}\\\\3x+5\cdot(-2)=2\\3x-10=2\ \ \ |+10\\3x=12\ \ \ |:3\\x=4\\\\Answer:\ x=4;\ y=-2\to(4;\ -2)\end{gathered}

{

3x+5y=2

9x+11y=14

∣⋅(−3)

−9x−15y=−6

9x+11y=14

add both sides of equations

. −4y=8 ∣:(=4)

. y=−2

substitute the value of y to the first equation

3x+5⋅(−2)=2

3x−10=2 ∣+10

3x=12 ∣:3

x=4

Answer: x=4; y=−2→(4; −2)

Solve the two step equation 8x+38=60
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

x = 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal here is to isolate the variable, or to get x by itself. We can do this by using simple math. The first step is to move every thing to the opposite side of x. We do this by subtracting 38 from 60, which leaves us with 22. Now we want divide 22 by 8. After doing this we are left with the equation x = 2.75. I know that at first fractions and decimals seem annoying and they feel like a lot of work. But if you take a second to really look at them, you will realize they are not that bad. As in most cases with math, looks can be deceiving
