Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a₁ = 15

a₂/a₁ = 45/15 = 3

a₃/a₂ = 135/45 = 3

...

It is a geometric sequence with a common ratio r=3.

Sum of first 12 terms = a₁·(1-r¹²)/(1-r)

= 15·(1-3¹²)/(1-3)

= 15·(-531,441)/(-2)

= 3,985,800

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solution Of A System Of Equations </u>

A system of linear equations is given as

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}ax+by=c\\ dx+ey=f\end{matrix}\right.$

There are many methods to solve them. We will use the method of reduction

The given system is

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ x+y=10\end{matrix}\right.$

Multiplying the second equation by -3

$\displaystyle \left\{\begin{matrix}2x+3y=45\\ -3x-3y=-30\end{matrix}\right.$

Adding the resulting equations

$\displaystyle -x=15$

$\displaystyle x=-15$
