Answer:
= - 5n - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a common difference between consecutive terms, that is
- 12 - (- 7) = - 17 - (- 12) = - 5
This indicates the sequence is arithmetic with n th term
= a₁ + (n - 1)d
where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference
Here a₁ = - 7 and d = - 5, then
= - 7 - 5(n - 1) = - 7 - 5n + 5 = - 5n - 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
Pls post the full question next time so that we can make sure what is expected.
I assume that you want to solve for (x,y)
(1) 2x + 3y = 7
(2) 3x + 2y = 8
2*(2)-3*(1) gives
2*3x + 2*2y - 3*2x - 3*3y = 2*8 - 3*7 = 16 - 21 = -5
6x - 6x + 4y -9y = -5
-5y=-5
y = 1
and we can replace in (1)
2x + 3*1 = 7
2x = 7 - 3 = 4
x = 2
hope this helps
