Answer:

x = -1, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 5x = 9

4y + 3x = 5

eliminate one of the variables by multiplying the equations and then adding them together.

3(2y - 5x = 9)

5(4y + 3x = 5)

6y - 15x = 27

20y + 15x = 25

26y = 52

y = 2

now input the value of y into one of the original equations to find x.

8 + 3x = 5

8-5 = 3

x = -1

Answer:

y = 2, x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

2y - 5x = 9

2y = 9+5x

y = (9+5x) /2

4y + 3x = 5

4((9+5x) /2) + 3x = 5

13x + 18 = 5

13x = -13

x = -1

y = (9+5x) /2

y = (9+5(-1)) /2

y = 2

Solve the following recurrence relation: <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A_%7Bn%7D%3Da_%7Bn-1%7D%2Bn%3B%20a_%7B1%7D%20%3D

-Dominant- [34]

By iteratively substituting, we have

$a_n = a_{n-1} + n$

$a_{n-1} = a_{n-2} + (n - 1) \implies a_n = a_{n-2} + n + (n - 1)$

$a_{n-2} = a_{n-3} + (n - 2) \implies a_n = a_{n-3} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2)$

and the pattern continues down to the first term $a_1=0$ ,

$a_n = a_{n - (n - 1)} + n + (n - 1) + (n - 2) + \cdots + (n - (n - 2))$

$\implies a_n = a_1 + \displaystyle \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} (n - k)$

$\implies a_n = \displaystyle n \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} 1 - \sum_{k=0}^{n-2} k$

Recall the formulas

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N 1 = N$

$\displaystyle \sum_{n=1}^N n = \frac{N(N+1)}2$

It follows that

$a_n = n (n - 2) - \dfrac{(n-2)(n-1)}2$

$\implies a_n = \dfrac12 n^2 + \dfrac12 n - 1$

$\implies \boxed{a_n = \dfrac{(n+2)(n-1)}2}$

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

15%

Step-by-step explanation:

34.50-30=4.50

10% of 30= 3

5%of 30 = 1.50

3+1.50=4.50

so 4.50 = 15%
