The first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2
Given:

where,
n = number of terms
First term, a1 = 2
Second term, a2

a2 = {(2 - 1)/ 4} - 2
= 1/4 - 2
= (1-8) / 4
= - 7/4
Third term, a3
= {(3-1) / 4} - 2
= 2/4 - 2
= 1/2 - 2
= (1-4) / 2
= -3/2
Therefore, the first three terms of the sequence defined by the recursive formula are 2, -7/2 and -3/2

Y = -2 x - 9
3 x - 4(-2 x - 9 ) = -8
3 x + 8 x + 36 = - 8
11 x = - 44, x = - 4
y = 8 - 9 , y = -1
This is a unique solution, the system is independent.
Answer:
x= 18
