Solve the system.
x+3y=7
2x-4y=24

y= -1 and x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

(1) x+3y=7

(2) 2x-4y=24

Clear x from the 1st equation: x=7-3y

And replace x from the 2do one: 2(7-3y)-4y=24

14-6y-4y=24

-6y-4y=24-14

-10y=10

y=-10/10

y=-1

Now we have y=-1, let's finde x:

x=7-3y

x=7-3(-1)

x=7+3

x=10

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

-232
