<span>P: y + z = 6
Q: 8y + 7z = 1
A. This makes y = -8Y which will eliminate the "y"'s when the equations are added.

There's no equation to solve, until you tell us
what that expression is equal to.
5/3 each friend gets 3/5 of the trail mix
I hope this is correct. I solved it using the addition elimination method. The answer is s= 2, and r= 5. I hope that was helpful.
Answer: Choice A
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
===============================================
The formula is
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
where
Sn = sum of the first n terms (nth partial sum)
n = number of terms
a1 = first term
an = nth term
In this case,
n = 9
a1 = 2 (plug in n = 1 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
an = a9 = 26 (plug n = 9 into the formula an = 3n-1 and simplify)
So,
Sn = (n/2)*(a1+an)
S9 = (9/2)*(2+26)
will help us find the sum of the first 9 terms of this arithmetic sequence
