x=-9-4y

substitute

2(-9-4y)+5y=-6

-18-8y+5y=-6

-18-3y=-6

-3y=-6+18

-3y=12

-3y÷-3= 12÷-3

y=-4

Solve for x:negative 4 over 3, multiplied by x minus 6 equals negative 26 a−27 b−15 c15 d27

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

-4/3 x - 6 = -26

Add 6 to both sides

-4/3 x = -20

Divide both sides by -4/3, which is the same as multiplying by reciprocal

-20 * -3/4 = 15

x = 15

Help plz consider the sequence {4,6,8,10...}Find the explicit formula that defines the sequence. A) an = 2n + 2 B) an = 2n + 4 C

Alex777 [14]

A

this is an arithmetic sequence whose n th term ( explicit formula) is

$a_{n}$ = $a_{1}$ + (n - 1 )d

where d is the common difference and $a_{1}$ the first term

here d = 10 - 8 = 8 - 6 = 6 - 4 = 2 and $a_{1}$ = 4, hence

$a_{n}$ = 4 + 2(n - 1 ) = 4 + 2n - 2 = 2n + 2 → A
