Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution by substitution method

3x-4y=8

and 18x-5y=10

Suppose,

3x-4y=8→(1)

and 18x-5y=10→(2)

Taking equation (1), we have

3x-4y=8

⇒3x=4y+8

⇒x=( 4y+8)/ 3 →(3)

Putting x= (4y+8 )/3 in equation (2), we get

18x-5y=10

18( (4y+8) /3) -5y=10

⇒24y+48-5y=10

⇒19y+48=10

⇒19y=10-48

⇒19y= -38

⇒y=- 38 /19

⇒y= -2→(4)

Now, Putting y=-2 in equation (3), we get

x=4y+8

x= (4(-2)+8) /3

⇒x= (-8+8)/ 3

⇒x= 0/ 3

⇒x=0

∴x=0 and y= -2

According to a certain news poll, 71% agreed that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of l

finlep [7]

Answer:

0.3157

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that according to a certain news poll, 71% agreed that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly,

Let A be the event that it should be the government's responsibility to provide a decent standard of living for the elderly, and B the event that it would be a good idea to invest part of their Social Security taxes on their own

P(B) = 41%=0.41

A and B are independent

Hence P(both)= $0.77(0.41) = 0.3157\\$

the probability that a person agreed with both propositions

= Probability for both A and B

= P(A) P(B) since A and B are independent

= 0.3157

Enter a recursive rule for the geometric sequence. 6, −18, 54, −162, ...

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

The required recursive formula is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a geometric sequence as:

6,-18,54,-162,.....

Clearly after looking at different terms of the sequence we could observe that the sequence is an geometric progression (G.P.) with common ratio= -3 denoted by r.

Let $a_n$ represents the nth term of the sequence.

This means that:

$a_1=6, a_2=-18, a_3=54, a_4=-162,......$

As the common ratio is -3.

so,

$a_1=6\\\\a_2=-18=(-3)\times a_1\\\\a_3=54=(-3)\times a_2\\\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.\\.a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$

Hence, the required recursive formula for the geometric sequence is:

$a_n=(-3)\times a_{n-1}$
