Please help me with this problem! I am so confused: This system of equations shows x by itself on the left side of one equation.

Solve the system by substituting for x instead of y.
x = -y - 2
0.5x + y = 1

Answer:

x=-6

y=4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-y-2        x=-y-2             x=-y-2         x=-y-2         x=-y-2   x=-4-2   x=-6

0.5x+y = 1  0.5(-y-2)+y=1  -0.5y-1+y=1  -y-2+2y=2  y=4       y=4       y=4

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if necessary).
BabaBlast [244]

Step-by-step explanation:

the introduction of a fraction tells us that we are dealing with multiplications, and therefore a geometric sequence (where every new term is created by multiplying the previous term by a constant factor, the ratio r).

I think your teacher made a mistake, or you made one when typing the question in here.

there is no factor r that creates

15×r = 9

and

9×r = 5/27

it would mean that

15 × r² = 5/27

r² = 5/27 / 15 = 5/27 × 1/15 = 5/405 = 1/81

r = 1/9

but 15 × 1/9 = 5 × 1/3 = 5/3 is NOT 9

and 9 × 1/9 = 9/9 = 1 is NOT 5/27

so, this can't be right.

on the other hand

15 × r = 9

r = 9/15 = 3/5

and then

9 × 3/5 = 27/5

so, either the sequence should have been

15, 5/3, 5/27

or (and I suspect this to be true)

15, 9, 27/5

under that assumption we have

s1 = 15

r = 3/5

sn = sn-1 × r = s1 × r^(n-1) = 15 × (3/5)^(n-1)

s10 = 15 × (3/5)⁹ = 15 × 19683/1953125 =

= 3 × 19683/390625 = 59049/390625 =

= 0.15116544 ≈ 0.151

Match each simplified form to it's equivalent radical expression. Tiles: 4√3, 3 3√2, 2 3√3, 3√5
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following simplified expressions:

4√3, 3 3√2, 2 3√3, 3√5

It's radical equivalent is :

4√3 = √4² * √3 = √16 * √3 = √16*3 = √48

3 3√2 = 3 * √3² * √2 = √9 * √2 = √9*2 = 3√18

2 3√3 = 2 * √3² * √3 = √9 * √3 = √9*3 = 2√27

3√5 = √3² * √5 = √9 * √5 = √9*5 = √45
