(2x-3y=-4)-2(x+3y=7)

2x-3y-2x-6y=-4-14

-9y=-18

y=2, making x+3y=7 become:

x+6=7

x=1

So the solution to the system of equations is the point (1,2)

Leave x alone on one side.

x = 7 - 3y

Substitute into equation

2(7 - 3y) - 3y = -4

Distribute

14 - 6y - 3y = -4

Solve

14 - 9y = -4

14 + 4 = 9y

18 = 9y

y = 18/9

y = 2
x = 1

What is the common ratio for the geometric sequence? 32, 8, 2, 12, ... Enter your answer in the box.

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will be no common ration for this sequence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Need to determine common ration for the following geometric sequence

32, 8, 2, 12, ...

In given geometric sequence

a1 = 32, a2=8, a3=2, a4=12 ……….

Common ratio = $\frac{a_2}{a_1} =\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{a_4}{a_3}$

$\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{8}{32}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_3}{a_2} =\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{a_4}{a_3}=\frac{12}{2}=6$

Since $\frac{a_2}{a_1}=\frac{a_3}{a_2}\neq\frac{a_4}{a_3}$ so we can say that given sequence is not a geometric progression and there will no no common ration for this sequence.
