Answer:
y=4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(y+1)-2=4+y
2y+2-2=4+y
2y=4+y
2y-y=4
y=4
Sequence: -4, 8, -16
rate of increase: -16/8 = -2
If you make A1 the first term in the sequence you must use (n-1) in the explicit formula. If you go backwards in the sequence to find A0 = 2 then you would use n.
The don't have A0 = 2 listed as an option so we use A1 = -4 and (n-1) terms.
An = -4(-2)^(n-1)
Solving for the 5th term A5, use n = 5
A5 = -4(-2)^(5-1)
A5 = -4(16)
A5 = -64
So the answer is B.
For this case we must solve the following system of equations:

We clear x of both equations:

We match:

We find the value of "x":

Thus, the solution of the system is:

Answer:

The first option is the correct answer
