Eliminate x's by adding te 2 equations
add them
-2x+15y=24
<u>2x+9y=24 +</u>
0x+24y=48
24y=48
divide both sides by 24
y=2
sub back
2x+9y=24
2x+9(2)=24
2x+18=24
minus 18 both sides
2x=6
divide 2
x=3
x=3
y=2
(x,y)
(3,2)
There is 24 hours in one day so there is 15 days in 360 hours. You can double check by doing 15 times 24.
Answer:
all work is shown and pictured
Your sequence appears to be geometric with a common ratio of 2. It can be described by
a(n) = (-2 2/3)·2^(n-1)
_____
This can be written in a number of other forms, including
a(n) = (-8/3)·2^(n-1)
a(n) = (-1/3)·2^(n+2)
a(n) = (-4/3)·2^n
