Answer:

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Note the common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = - 18 ÷ - 3 = - 108 ÷ - 18 = 6

This indicates the sequence is geometric with n th term ( explicit formula )

a_{n} = a(r)^{n-1}

where a is the first term and r the common ratio

Here a = - 3 and r = 6, thus

a_{n} = - 3(6)^{n-1}

The inequality x + 2y ≥ 3 is satisfied by point (1, 1).<br> True<br> False
andre [41]
In the given statement above, in this case, the answer would be TRUE. It is true that the  inequality x + 2y ≥ 3 is satisfied by point (1, 1). In order to prove this, we just have to plug in the values. 1 + 2(1) <span> ≥ 3 
So the result is 1 + 2 </span> ≥ 3. 3 <span> ≥ 3, which makes it true, because it states that it is "more than or equal to", therefore, our answer is true. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Lostsunrise [7]

Hi,

x + y = 350                    (equation 1)

3x + 2y = 950                 (equation 2)


Use Substitution Method

Isolate variable x in equation 1


x = 350 – y                     (equation 3)


Substitute equation 3 into equation 2


3(350 – y) + 2y = 950

1050 – 3y + 2y = 950

3y – 2y = 1050 – 950

y = 100


Substitute y = 100 into equation 1


x + 100 = 350

x = 250


Answer: 250 $3 tickets and 100 $2 tickets were sold.

Find the solution of this system of equations. separate the x and y values.<br> x=2+y<br> -6x-6y=-12
Shkiper50 [21]
{x=2+y
{-6x-6y=-12

-6(2+y) -6y = -12
-12 - 6y - 6y = -12
-12y = -12 + 12
-12y = 0
y = 0

x = 2 + y = 2 + 0 = 2

Answer: x=2, y=0
