Answer:

312.50

Step-by-step explanation:

8 , 20 , 50, 125 , 312.50

First term, a = 8

Second term, ar = 20

Find common ratio, r

Substitute a = 8 into second equation

ar = 20

8r = 20

r = 20/8

r = 2.5

Find the fifth term

ar⁴

= 8 * 2.5⁴

= 8 * 39.0625

= 312.50

Fifth term, ar⁴ = 312.50

What is the first step to solve the following system of equations using substitution?

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

Thus, option A) is true.

The solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember that when we solve the system of equations, the first step we need to do is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables.

Given the system of equations

$x - y = -1$

$2x - y = 3$

Step 1: Solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Let's solve the first equation for x

$x-y=-1$

Add y to both sides

$x-y+y=-1+y$

$x=-1+y$

Thus, option A) is true.

<u>NOW LET US SOLVE THE REMAINING PORTION</u>

$\mathrm{Subsititute\:}x=-1+y$ to solve for y

$\begin{bmatrix}2\left(-1+y\right)-y=3\end{bmatrix}$

$-2+y=3$

$y=5$

For x = -1 + y

substitute y = 5

$x=-1+5$

$x=4$

Thus, the solution to the system of equations be:

$x = 4, y = 5$

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the picture attached,

Number line Inequality

1). Arrow starting with a solid point from x = -2 x ≤ -2

directing towards negative numbers of x 2).Arrow starting with a hollow circle from x = 2 x >2

directing towards positive numbers of x

3). Arrow starting with a hollow circle from x = 2 x < 2 ⇒ x - 2 < 0

directing towards negative numbers of x

4). Arrow starting with a solid circle from x = 2 x ≥ 2 Or 2 ≤ x

directing towards positive numbers of x

5). Arrow starting with a hollow circle from x = -2 x > -2

directing towards positive numbers of x
