10x-5
You multiply each term in the parentheses by 5
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
Since the sequence is geometric (it multiplies the previous number each time). The nth term sequence would be 
Because the sequence multiplies by 3 each time, The base number in that equation would be
.
So
of the equation would be:
.
Compare the 2 equations:
4, 12, 36
3, 9 ,27
The difference between the 2 equations is: 1, 3, 9 which itself is a geometric sequence so the nth term of this new equation is:
.
Combine these 2 equations together and you get:
.
-3+7=4 should be your answer
Answer:
x=1.25 and y=-5.5
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+y=-8, 2x=-y-8 or 4x=-2y-16. Plug this value in the second equation, we have - 2y-16-2y=6, y=-5.5. Plugging this in any equation we have, x=1.25
