What is the value of the x variable in the solution to the following system of equations?

2 answers:

8 0

Multiply the bottom equation by 2 and you'll get

4x + 2y = 12
2x - 2y = 6

Then combine the two equations and the y's will cancel out and you'll get

6x = 18

Divide by 6.

x = 3

4x+2y = 12
x+ y = 3
Times the bottom one by -2
4x+2y=12
2x-2y=-6
Cancel out the 2y and -2y and add 4x and 2x, 12 and -6 together
6x=6
divide by 6 for x
x=1
your answer is 1

A(1)=20

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

-14

Step-by-step explanation:

You've got a(1)=20

a(1) means a(n) when n=1

the sequence is telling you to take the previous value of a(n), which is a(n-1) and subtract 17

then:

a(2) = a(1)-17 = 20 - 17 = 3

a(3) = a(2) - 17 = 3-17 = -14
