Y = x + 2 is closest to what I believe is the solution.
If the club begins with 2 members, then +2 MUST appear in the formula.
If the club adds 2 members every week, then the total number of members would be
f(x) = y = 2 + 2(x-1), where x is the number of weeks.
Test this: If x = 1, then y = 2+2(1-1) = 2 + 0 = 2. This is correct. The club began with 2 members in week 1
Hey there!
Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!

He made a mistake in step #2. It seemed to be a trivial mistake because it involved signs, but it still had a great impact. Since step#2, his solution was already wrong.
Instead of
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = 1 + 48 = 49
What he did is
(-1)²-4(2)(-6) = -1 + 48 = 47
Answer:(2,0) x=2,y=0
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by elimination.
−x+y=−2;2x−3y=4
Multiply the first equation by 2,and multiply the second equation by 1.
2(−x+y=−2)
1(2x−3y=4)
Becomes:
−2x+2y=−4
2x−3y=4
Add these equations to eliminate x:
−y=0
Then solve−y=0 for y:
−y=0
−y/−1 =0/−1
(Divide both sides by -1)
y=0
Now that we've found y let's plug it back in to solve for x.
Write down an original equation:
−x+y=−2
Substitute0foryin−x+y=−2:
−x+0=−2
−x=−2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−x/−1 = −2/−1
(Divide both sides by -1)
x=2
Forty two plus sixty three that's your answer
