Y = 5 - 3x....so sub in 5 - 3x for y in the other equation

5x - 4y = -3
5x - 4(5 - 3x) = -3.....distribute the -4 thru the parenthesis
5x - 20 + 12x = -3...add 20 to both sides
5x + 12x = -3 + 20...combine like terms
17x = 17...divide both sides by 17
x = 17/17
x = 1

now sub 1 in for x into either of the original equations to find y
y = 5 - 3x
y = 5 - 3(1)
y = 5 - 3
y = 2

check...
5x - 4y = -3
5(1) - 4(2) = -3
5 - 8 = -3
-3 = -3 (correct)

so ur solution is (1,2)

Which formula can be used to find the nth term of a geometric sequence where the fifth term is 1/6 and the common ratio is 1/4?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Fifth term of a geometric sequence = \frac{1}{16}

Common ratio (r) = ¼

Required:

Formula for the nth term of the geometric sequence

Solution:

Step 1: find the first term of the sequence

Formula for nth term of a geometric sequence = ar^{n - 1}, where:

a = first term

r = common ratio = ¼

Thus, we are given the 5th term to be ¹/16, so n here = 5.

Input all these values into the formula to find a, the first term.

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{5 - 1}

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{4}^{4}

\frac{1}{16} = a*\frac{1}{256}

\frac{1}{16} = \frac{a}{256}

Cross multiply

1*256 = a*16

Divide both sides by 16

\frac{256}{16} = \frac{16a}{16}

16 = a

a = 16

Step 2: input the value of a and r to find the nth term formula of the sequence

nth term = ar^{n - 1}

nth term = 16*\frac{1}{4}^{n - 1}

a_n = 16(\frac{1}{4})^{n - 1}
