Answer:
19xy + 16z
Step-by-step explanation:
combine like terms
7xy +1 2xy= 19xy
8z - 2z + 10z = 16z
A.

B.

Megan's solution isn't correct.
The first mistake: she subtracted 5x from the right-hand side of the equation, but added 5x to the left-hand side.
The second mistake: she divided the right-hand side of the equation by 11, but didn't divide the left-hand side.
The correct solution:
Equation describes a sloping line. For any
equation ax+by+c = 0, slope is .<span>X intercept is found by setting y to 0: ax+by=c becomes ax=c. that means that x = c/a. 30/5 = 6.Y intercept is found by setting x to 0: the equation becomes by=c, and therefore y = c/b. Y intercept is 30/-3 = -10.Slope is -5/-3 = 1.66666666666667.<span> Equation in slope-intercept form: y=1.66666666666667*x+-10.</span></span>
The initial value is 3. The common ratio is -9/3 = -3. The general formula is
.. an = a1*r^(n-1)
So, for your values, ...
.. an = 3*(-3)^(n -1)
