It is rounded to the hundredths.
We can solve this using substitution.
because x-y=2.5
x=y+2.5
Now substitute x into other equation.
2(y+2.5)^2-2y=125
2y^2+10y+12.5-2y=125
2y^2+8y-112.5=0
Now comes the ugly part
y=-4+-sqrt(16+900)
y=-4+-sqrt916
y=-4+-2sqrt229
x=-1.5+-2sqrt229
Answer:
12, 17, 24
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the first 3 terms, substitute n = 1, 2, 3 into the rule, that is
T₁ = 1² + 2(1) + 9 = 1 + 2 + 9 = 12
T₂ = 2² + 2(2) + 9 = 4 + 4 + 9 = 17
T₃ = 3² + 2(3) + 9 = 9 + 6 + 9 = 24
