Answer: x = 0, and y = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

-5x + y = -2 .........(1)

-3x + 6y = -12 ......(2)

From equation (1)

-5x +y = -2 .........(1)

y = 5x - 2 .............(3)

Now substitute for y  in equation (2)

-3x + 6 (5x -2 ) = -12

Make use of 6 to open the bracket ,we now have

-3x + 30x - 12 = -12

= 27x - 12 = -12

Collect the like terms

27x = -12 + 12

27x = 0

Divide through by 27 to get the value of x

x = 0/27

x = 0

To determine y, substitute for x in equation (3)

y = 5x - 2

y = 5(0) - 2

y = 0 - 2

y = -2

Check : Substitute for x and y in equation (1)

-5x + y = -2

-5(0) + (-2) = -2

0 -2 = -2

0 - 2 = -2

PLEASE HELP ASAP

we conclude that the sequence has 8 terms.

<h3>How to get the number of terms in the sequence?</h3>

Here we have the geometric sequence:

2/81, 4/27, 8/9, ..., 6912

Notice that each term is equal to 6 times the previous term, such that:

2/81*6 = 4/27

4/27*6 = 8/9

Then the n-th term is equal to:

a_n = a_1*r^{n-1}

Where in this case:

a_1 = 2/81\\\\r = 6

Now we need to find the value of n such that:

(2/81)*6^{n-1} = 6912\\\\6^n = 6*6812*(81/2) = 1,679,616

If we apply the natural logarithm to both sides, then:

n*ln(6) = ln(1,679,616)\\n =  ln(1,679,616)/ln(6) = 8

Then we conclude that the sequence has 8 terms.
