Answer:

x = -5/3, y = -1 or (-\frac{5}{3}, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving systems of linear equations using process of elimination involves eliminating one of the variables (and its coefficient) in order to solve the other variable either through addition or subtraction. However, there may be other mathematical operations necessary before one of the variables can be eliminated.  

Equation 1:   3y - 6x = 7

Equation 2:  -4y - 3x = 9          

<h3>Step 1:  Multiply Equation 2 by -2:</h3>

(-2)(-4y - 3x) = 9 (-2)

8y + 6x = -18

<h3>Step 2: Add "8y + 6x = -18" to Equation 1:</h3>

  8y + 6x = -18

+ 3y - 6x = 7

11y = -11

<h3>Step 3: Divide both sides by 11 to solve for y:</h3>

\frac{11y}{11} =  \frac{-11}{11}

y = -1

<h3>Step 4: Substitute y = -1 into Equation 2 to solve for x: </h3>

-4(-1) - 3x = 9      

    4 - 3x = 9

<h3>Step 5: Subtract 4 from both sides:</h3>

    4 - 4 - 3x = 9 - 4

   - 3x = 5

<h3>Step 6: Divide both sides by -3 to solve for x:</h3>

\frac{-3x}{-3} = \frac{5}{-3}

x = - \frac{5}{3}

Verify whether the values for x and y are correct by substituting their values into both equations:

x = -5/3, y = -1

Equation 1:   3y - 6x = 7

3(-1) - 6(-\frac{5}{3}) = 7  

-3 + 10 = 7

7 = 7 (True statement).

Equation 2:  -4y - 3x = 9          

-4(-1) - 3 (-5/3)  = 9          

-4(-1) - 3(-\frac{5}{3}) = 9

4 + 5 = 9

9 = 9  (True statement).

Therefore, x = -5/3 and y = -1 are the solutions to the given systems of linear equations.

Which sequence could be described by the explicit definition: t_n=2^n+1t n = 2 n + 1
yuradex [85]

Answer:

2. 27

3. Option C. 3, 5, 9, 17, 33, ...

Step-by-step explanation:

2. The sequence is defined by the explicit function t_{n} = 2^{n}  - n

Therefore, the 5th term i.e. t_{5} of the sequence.

t_{5} = 2^{5}  - 5 = 32 - 5 = 27 (Answer)

3. The explicit definition is t_{n} = 2^{n}  + 1

Hence, t_{1} = 2^{1}  + 1 = 3

t_{2} = 2^{2}  + 1 = 5

t_{3} = 2^{3}  + 1 = 9

t_{4} = 2^{4}  + 1 = 17

Therefore, the option C is the right sequence. (Answer)

What is the rule of function? (0,0),(1,4),(2,16),(3,36)
lilavasa [31]
When the first number increases by one the second number is added by 4's. So from the first part to the second it added 4 then from the 2nd to the 3rd it skips adding 8 to then just add 12. Then from the 3rd to the 4th it skips adding 16 and adds 20. So the next set of numbers would be (4,64) because it skips adding the 24 and adds the 28.
Hope this helps and is not to confusing :)
