Using the Substitution Method, find the value of y in the below system of equations? -2y = 4x – 4
7x = -4y + 10

x=-2 and y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

First get y by itself in both equations. Simplify the y. Then substitue the numbers in for y. Solve

y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

-2y = 4x – 4

y = -2x + 2

7x = -4(-2x+2) + 10

7x = 8x-8+10

7x = 8x+2

7x -2 = 8x

-2 = x

plug this into the first equation and the value of y is 6

arithmetic sequence

step-by-step explanation:

given that a sequence has terms as

19, 15, 11,

this is represented on a graph

the pattern indicates that the sequence is an arithmetic sequence with i term

a=19 and common difference d =-4

any general term

thus the sequence is reduced by 4 for each successive term starting from 1 and nth term is

24-5n.

first negative term would start after 5th term

5th term =24-25< 0

from 5th term onwards the sequence would be negative.

the answer for this question is 38
