4x-3y-2=0 (2)
____________
6x -12=0 (if you just want the resulting equation. It is 6x-12=0)
x=2
take x=2 and put it into equation (2)
4(2) -3y -2=0
-3y= 2-8
y= 2
(x=2,y=2)

Round to the nearest hundredth (Geometric Series problem)

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

15.98

Step-by-step explanation:

∑₁¹⁰ $8(\frac{1}{4} )^{n-1}$

$=8[1+\frac{1}{4} +\frac{1}{16} + ........ +t_{10}]$

We have to use the formula of sum of a G.P. series with common ratio r < 1.

If the first term is a, the common ratio is r and the number of terms is n then the sum [a + ar + ar² + ar³ + ......... up to n terms] is given by

$[a \times\frac{1-r^{n} }{1-r}]$

$= 8[1 \times \frac{1-\frac{1}{2^{10} } }{1-\frac{1}{2} } ]$

$= 15.98$ (Answer)
