Therefore
(4y+6) +y = 46

We can combine the like terms:
5y + 6 = 46

Subtract 6 on both sides:

5y+6-6=46-6

Therefore 5y =40

Divide by 5 on both sides

5y/5 = 40/5

Therefore

y= 8
We found y but to find the value x we use y.

X= 4y+6

Therefore
x= (4*8)+ 6

Therefore

x= 32 + 6

x= 38.

X + y = 46
x is six more than four times the value of y
so replace x with that
6+4y + y = 46
add
4y+y=5y
so
6+5y=46
subtract 6 from both sides to remove the 6 in the left.
5y = 40
Divide both sides by 5, the coefficient of y. 5y/5=y and 40/5=8
$\text{\boxed{y\=8}}$

Write the recursive rule and the iterative rule for the following sequence: 10, 6, 2, -2, -6

barxatty [35]

The recursive rule is
$a_n=a_{n-1}+(-4)$ .
The iterative rule is
$a_n=14-4n$

The recursive rule is given by the formula
$a_n=a_{n-1}+d$ , where d is the common difference. Our common difference is -4, which gives us the recursive rule above.

The iterative rule begins with the formula
$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$ , where a₁ is the first term and d is the common difference. Our first term is 10 and our common difference is -4:
$a_n=10+(-4)(n-1)
\\\text{Using the Distributive Property,}
\\
\\a_n=10+(-4*n)+(-4*-1)
\\
\\a_n=10-4n+4
\\
\\\text{Combining like terms,}
\\
\\a_n=14-4n$

marysya [2.9K]

2.25 x 1000 = 2250.

That's how much yds of ribbons he needs.
