Answer:
an = a(n-1) - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
the second term is smaller than the first term 7.
a20 = a19 - 7
a19 = a18 - 7
=> a20 = (a18 - 7) - 7
Then you can accumalate until a1
-> a20 = a1 - 19*7 = 86 - 19*7 = -47

Answer:
x = -2, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
x-7y=-9---------------------equation 1
-x+8y=10-------------------equation 2
From equation 1, make x the subject of formula
x=7y-9----------------------equation 3
substituting x=7y-9 in equation 2,
-(7y-9)+8y=10
Expanding bracket
-7y+9+8y=10
Collecting like terms
8y-7y=10-9
y=1
substituting y=1 in 3
x=7(1)-9
x=7-9
x=-2
