Answer:
x + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x + 14
200 can be rounded down to 200, which is easy to add with. Thus, an estimate is 222+200=422.
Alternatively, you could round 222 up a bit, to get 225+200=425. This is actually the correct answer, but this rounding doesn't make the calculation easier, so if you needed a quick estimate I'd go with the first option.
Since we are decreasing by 5 each time, we can build up a series formula first.
Now, adding summation notation, we produce:
By using the elimination method, you would essentially add the two equations together by combining like terms. normally this would require manipulation however this equation doesn't because the y is already opposites of each other. (a negative and positive value of the same number i.e. -2 and 2)
so add the two equations together and you're left with 2x = 16, (they y's cancelled each other out) then divide two on both sides to get x = 8
now, use that x value in either equation (it doesn't matter which), we can use -3x+2y=-26
plug it in to get -3(8) + 2y = -26
which is then -24 + 2y = -26
add 24 to both sides: 2y = -2
divide 2 on both sides: y = -1
now knowing x=8 and y= -1 we can say that the answer is (8,-1)
hope this helps!!
Answer:
No
Step-by-step explanation:
7 - 2 = 5
13 - 7 = 6
20 - 13 = 7
