Answer:
A, B, C, and E
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 4x - 20
8x - 2y = - 20 (divide everything by 2)
4x - y = -10
-y = -4x - 10
y = 4x - 10
4x - 10 = 4x - 20
0
-10
No solution
Common ratio = 28/7 = 4
8th term = (first term)4^7 = 114688
So when you opened up the parenthesis on the right side of the question, you added -2 to 5 instead of multiplying. Since there is no addition sign in between -2 and the parenthesis, it should be multiplication, so -2x + -10.
So now the answer would be 10 = -10.
Which leads me to believe that this question wasn't written correctly because 10 does not equal -10 for sure.
You need to determine what is happening in the situation maybe? If the number is increasing then it would be + or x and if they were decreasing it would be / or -
D. (9x-4)^2
You can find this by taking the square roots of the outside numbers and multiplying them by each other and 2 to see if they equal the middle number.
