c=139
b=18.04
a=11.76
Answer:
x=5, y=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
we can find the answer by plugging in x=3y+14 to the second equation
5(3y+14)-2y=31
simplify
15y+70-2y=31
13y=-39
y=-3
now, plug in this to the initial equation x=3y+14
x=3(-3)+14
x=-9+14
x=5
There is no sum for this geometric series. it diverges rather than converges due to the absolute value of the common ratio (r), which is -3, being 3. for a geometric series to have a sum (to converge), the absolute value of r must be less than 1.
(you find r by dividing a2/a1, a3/a2, etc.)
hope this helps
