question 3: -2
question 4: 0
Ordered pairs in a graph go in the sequence of (x, y)
Using the formula of P(1 + r)^n = x where p represents the initial value, r represents the rate and n represents the number of years and x is our final output. We want to find P so we have to make it the subject of the equation.
1 + 0.04 = 1.04
1.04^18 = 2.025816515
Then divide the total amount by this to get 185,110.5454
Therefore the answer is $185,110.55
Hope this helps! :)
<h3>
<u>Explanation</u></h3>
- Given the system of equations.

- Solve the system of equations by eliminating either x-term or y-term. We will eliminate the y-term as it is faster to solve the equation.
To eliminate the y-term, we have to multiply the negative in either the first or second equation so we can get rid of the y-term. I will multiply negative in the second equation.

There as we can get rid of the y-term by adding both equations.

Hence, the value of x is 3. But we are not finished yet because we need to find the value of y as well. Therefore, we substitute the value of x in any given equations. I will substitute the value of x in the second equation.

Hence, the value of y is 4. Therefore, we can say that when x = 3, y = 4.
- Answer Check by substituting both x and y values in both equations.
<u>First</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

<u>Second</u><u> </u><u>Equation</u>

Hence, both equations are true for x = 3 and y = 4. Therefore, the solution is (3,4)

<u>Answer</u></h3>

-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
