B is the first term
c is the common ratio
if the first term is x and the 2nd is y then x times c=y
so
-5 times what=10?
what=-2
c=-2
the first term is -5
-5(-2)^(n-1)
b=-5
c=-2
Answer:
- no question content
- (x, y) = (1/2, 4)
- (x, y) = (2, 10)
Step-by-step explanation:
1. No link, no question
__
2. Divide the first equation by 2 and substitute for y using the expression in the second equation.
2x +(4x+2) = 5
6x = 3 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2
x = 3/6 = 1/2 . . . . divide by2
y = 4(1/2) +2 = 4 . . . . substitute into the equation for y
The solution is (x, y) = (1/2, 4).

3. The solution using a graphing calculator is (x, y) = (2, 10). (see attached)
Answer:
(5,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
