A suitable calculator can row-reduce the augmented matrix.
first number: 3
second number: 1
third number: 8
6x+3y=33..........(1)
4x+y=15
y=15-4x.........(2)
substitute value of y from (2) in (1)
6x+3(15-4x)=33
distribute 3 over the bracket
6x+45-12x =33
-6x=33-45
-6x=-12
x=2
plugging this value of x in equation 2 we get
15-4x=y
15-4(2)=y
y=15-8
y=7
Answer is x=2 and y=7
I don't like trying all of them so I will make up my own which will probably be in the answers
so equation is
f(x)=pay
x=hours worked
solve so
f(1)=110
f(2)=130
f(3)=150
f(4)=170
they seem to be increasing in 20 increments so therefor the pay is linked to hours times 20 so that measn that every hour he works, he gets 20 dollars
therefor the answer is f(n+1)=f(n)+20 since we know that 1 hour=$20 so n+1hour=n+$20
the answe ris f(n+1)=f(n)+20
