Just plug in 4 for the x
2*4 +4y =36
8+4y =36
4y =36-8
4y=28
y= 28/4
y=7
Pattern P:
40, 38, 36, 34, 32, 30, …
Pattern Q:
40, 36, 32, 28, 24, 20, …
(absolute) Differences in corresponding terms:
0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, …
and these differences agree with the last statement.
When the multiples of the equations in a system is added or subtracted, the resulting equation together with any of the original equation will result in the same answer.
Hence, the system of equations
x + 4y = 2
7x = 14
will also have a solution of (2, 0).
Answer:
13x + 7 = 5x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
SOLVE for X
13x + 7 = 5x - 20
-------------------------
-5x -7
------------------------
8x=-27
x= -3.375 or -27/8
