Add the two equations and use the elimination method. The x term will "cancel out" to be able to solve for the y term.
STEP 1
−12x−5y=40
12x−11y=88
x terms "cancels out"; add y terms
-16y= 128
divide both sides by -16
y= -8
STEP 2
substitute y value into either original equation
12x−11y=88
12x - 11(-8)= 88
12x + 88= 88
subtract 88 from both sides
12x= 0
divide both sides by 12; 0 divided by any number is 0
x= 0
ANSWER: x= 0; y= -8
Hope this helps! :)
The rule of the <span>geometric sequence is

a ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>the first term
r ⇒⇒⇒ </span><span>common ratio
Given: the fourth term </span>(a4) <span>= 121.5 and the common ratio = 3 and n = 4
∴</span><span>

∴ a = 121.5/3³ = 121.5/27 = 4.5
So, T</span><span>he formula for this sequence will be</span><span>

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
We want to solve for the value of t in the equation

Since we are trying to make t the subject of the formula (or isolate t)
Divide both sides by 4

This gives us:

Next, we subtract
from both sides

Answer:
3781
Step-by-step explanation:
80 hours × $18=$1440 for labor. 1440+15%(1440×.15)=$216.00 + material cost=$2125
(2125.00+1440.00+216=3781)
