X+y=-9. 5x-2y=32. elimination using manipulation

x=2, y=11.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = -9.  

5x - 2y = 32   Multiply the first equation by 2:

2x + 2y = -18   Adding the last 2 equations to eliminate y:

7x =  14

x = 2,

Substitute x = 2 in the first equation:

2 + y = -9

y = -9 - 2

y = -11.

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
