Well, since we know is a geometric sequence, we can always get the common ratio of it by simply dividing one value by the one behind it... so let's do so, with say hmm -32 and 8 -32/8 = -4 <-- our common ratio
the first term is -2
Answer:
<h2>

</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:


Solve the equation for y by moving 'x' to R.H.S and changing its sign


Substitute the given value of y into the equation 5x + y = 28

Solve the equation for x
Collect like terms

Move constant to R.H.S and change its sign

Subtract the numbers

Divide both sides of the equation by 4

Calculate

Reduce the numbers with 2

Now, substitute the given value of x into the equation y = 2 - x

Solve the equation for y

The possible solution of the system is the ordered pair ( x , y )
<h2>

</h2>
-------------------------------------------------------------
Let's check if the given ordered pair is the solution of the system of equation:
plug the value of x and y in both equation


Simplify the equalities


Since , all of the equalities are true, the ordered pair is the solution of the system.

Hope this helps....

Hey hey!
56 would be the answer.
WAIT, don’t leave just yet! You have to show at least some work! You CANT learn if you don’t know what you’re doing.
Here’s how I got the answer:
7:4 walls = 10:8 people =M:40 minutes
M = (7/4) / (10/8) x 40
M = 56 minutes.
If that helped let me know by hitting the thanks button or reply with any help you need.
Have a FABULOUS DAYYY!
