The answer to this is 36.
Solving for X:
1) y=-8x+6.5 y=-4x+11
2) -8x+6.5=-4x+11
3) -8x=-4x+11-6.5 (Subtract 6.5 from both sides)
4) -8x+4x=11-6.5 (Add 4x to both sides)
5)-4x=4.5
5)x=-1.125
Solving for Y:
y=-8(-1.125)+6.5
y=9+6.5
y=15.5
y=-4(-1.125)+11
y=4.5+11
y=15.5
x=-1.125
y=15.5
or
(-1.125,15.5)
Answer:
- using the rule given: 2.5
- using an exponential rule: 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Evaluating the linear rule given, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)(1) -1 = 7/2 -1 = 5/2 = 2.5
_____
We suspect you may intend the exponential function ...
an = 7(1/2)^(n-1)
Then, for n = 1, we have ...
a1 = 7(1/2)^(1 -1) = 7(1) = 7 . . . . the first term is 7
_____
When writing an exponential expression in plain text, it requires the exponential operator, a caret (^). If the exponent contains any arithmetic, as this one does, it must be enclosed in parentheses.
Answer:

________

Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Line up the numbers

Multiply the top number by the bottom number one digit at a time starting with the ones digit left(from right to left right)
Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×4=4

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×4=8

Multiply the top number by the bolded digit of the bottom number

Multiply the bold numbers: 1×1=1

Multiply the bold numbers: 2×1=2

Add the rows to get the answer. For simplicity, fill in trailing zeros.

adding portion

Add the digits of the right-most column: 4+0=4

Add the digits of the right-most column: 8+1=9

Add the digits of the right-most column: 0+2=2

Therefore,

________
