I really need help with this problem steps

Solve for y by setting one equation =to X after that you can substitute the equation into the other one let's set the first one in X= FORM
X-7y=10
-2x+14y=-20

Add 7y to both sides of the first equation to let x stand alone
X=7y+10
Now you can substitute x on the second equation
-2 (7y+10)+14y=-20
Distribute
-14y-20+14y=-20
Add and simplify
Us cancel out =0
-20=-20
0=0
They are the same equations you can also divide the second equation by -2 which would make it look like this
X-7y=10
-2 (x-7y=10)
Let me know if I have answered your question

Answer: $\bold{(1)\ \dfrac{19,683}{64}\qquad (2)\ 16}$

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

(1) (12, 18, 27, ...)

The common ratio is:

$r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\quad r =\dfrac{18}{12}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}\quad \rightarrow \quad r=\dfrac{27}{18}=\boxed{\dfrac{3}{2}}$

The equation is:

$a_n=a_o(r)^{n-1}\\\\Given:a_o=12,\ r=\dfrac{3}{2}\\\\\\Equation:\\a_n =12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{n-1}\\\\\\\\9th\ term:\\a_9=12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{9-1}\\\\\\a_9=12\bigg(\dfrac{3}{2}\bigg)^{8}\\\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{\dfrac{19643}{64}}$

$(2)\qquad \bigg(\dfrac{1}{16},\dfrac{1}{8},\dfrac{1}{4},\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg)\\\\\\\text{The common ratio is}:\\\\r=\dfrac{a_{n+1}}{a_n}\quad r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{8}}{\frac{1}{16}}=\boxed{2}\quad \rightarrow \quad r=\dfrac{\frac{1}{4}}{\frac{1}{8}}=\boxed{2}$

The equation is:

$a_n=a_o(r)^{n-1}\\\\Given:a_o=\dfrac{1}{16},\ r=2\\\\\\Equation:\\a_n =\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{n-1}\\\\\\\\9th\ term:\\a_9=\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{9-1}\\\\\\a_9=\dfrac{1}{16}(2)^{8}\\\\\\.\quad =\large\boxed{16}$
