Use inductive reasoning to describe the pattern. then find the next two numbers in the pattern. –5, –10, –20, –40, . .

Next two number would be –5, –10, –20,–40, –80, –160.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : –5, –10, –20, –40, . . .

To find : Use inductive reasoning to describe the pattern. Then find the next two numbers in the pattern.

Solution : We have given that

–5, –10, –20, –40, . . .

We can see from given pattern

-5 * 2 = - 10.

- 10 * 2 = - 20 .

-20 * 2 = - 40

So, each number is multiplied by 2 to get next number.

-40 * 2 = - 80 .

- 80 * 2 = - 160 .

Therefore, Next two number would be –5, –10, –20,–40, –80, –160.

ian gone lie this got me confused

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
