2x+3y= -17 
5x+2y= -4
You must cancel either the x or y out to solve so i'm going to cancel the x. 
-5(2x+3y= -17)
2(5x+2y= -4)
This simplifies to: 
-15x -15y=85
15x+4y= -8
The -15x and 15x cancel out leaving you: 
-15y=85 
4y= -8
You add them top numbers by the bottom and get: 
-11y=77
Then divide by -11 to get y by its self.
y= -7
Now that you know what y is just plug it in to either original problem. I will use the second one. 
5x + 2(-7) = -4
5x -14 = -4
5x = 10 
x = 2
So the answer is (2,-7) or x=2 and y=-7

Find a2 and a3 for the geometric sequence 4, a2, a3, 108.
LekaFEV [45]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  a2 = 12

  a3 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms of a geometric sequence have a common ratio. If we call that ratio r, then we have ...

  a2 = 4r

  a3 = (a2)r = 4r^2

  108 = (a3)r = 4r^3

  27 = r^3 . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4

  3 = r . . . . . . . . . . cube root

__

  a2 = 4(3) = 12

  a3 = 12(3) = 36

Can someone tell me if i did this right? im also not sure which one is the scale factor.
PIT_PIT [208]
If you are moving the center of circle 2 to the the center of circle 1, then the translation rule is (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10). 
Note how x = 1 turns into x = 5. So we add 4
Also, y = -2 turns into y = 8. We add 10

The scale factor to turn the radius r = 4 into r = 8 is 2. Basically we double the radius. We can divide the two radii to see 8/4 = 2

----------------------------------

Summary:
To go from circle 2 to circle 1, we apply these two transformations
translation: (x,y) ---> (x+4, y+10)
dilation: scale factor 2

note: 
if you want to go backwards, go from circle 1 to circle 2, then undo the transformations above

Segment AB has point A located at (4,2). If the distance from A to B is 3 units, which of the following could be used to calcula
Goshia [24]

The equation to calculate the coordinates of point B is (b) 3 = √(x - 4)²+(y - 2)²

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The given parameters are:

A = (4,2)
AB = 3

The distance formula is:

AB = √(x - x1)²+(y - y1)²

So, we have:

3 = √(x - 4)²+(y - 2)²

Hence, the equation to calculate the coordinates of point B is (b) 3 = √(x - 4)²+(y - 2)²
