\left[x \right] = \left[ \frac{-1}{4}\right][x]=[4−1] = x*3 +3x*2+6) - (9x*2-5x+7
Associative property and distributive property
I will go about solving this using the elimination method.
First, convert the equations.
10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12
Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.
6x = -8
Third, you want to solve the equation.
6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x =

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.
10(

) + y = -20

+ y = -20 (subtract

)
y =

The solution for this system of equations is (

,

).
Answer:
d. converges, -25
Step-by-step explanation:
An infinite geometric series converges if the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.
Here, the common ratio is 4/5:
| 4/5 | = 4/5 < 1
So the series converges. The sum of an infinite geometric series is:
S = a₁ / (1 − r)
where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Here, a₁ = -5 and r = 4/5:
S = -5 / (1 − 4/5)
S = -25
