Answer: an=8+(n-1)(-6) .
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x=4, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
Add these together to eliminate y
2x - y = 6
x + y = 6
-----------------
3x = 12
Divide by 3
3x/3 = 12/3
x=4
But we still need y
x+y =6
4+y =6
Subtract 4 from each side
4+y-4 = 6-4
y=2
It would be 9 because 2x9=18. Then 18+-2=16.
