9x - y = 15
2x + 8y = 28
Use the substitution method.
Solve for y in the first equation.
9x - y = 15
-y = 15 - 9x
y = -15 + 9x
Now plug in y into the second equation.
2x + 8(-15 + 9x) = 28
2x - 120 + 72x = 28
74x - 120 = 28
74x = 148
x = 2
Plug x back into the rewritten first equation.
y = -15 + 9(2)
y = -15 + 18
y = 3
x = 2, y = 3
Answer:
$19.07
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at image above...
We know that
a1=1
a2=3
a3=9
a2/a1=3/1----> 3
a3/a2=9/3----> 3
<span>common ration r is equal to 3
number of terms n is 12
The </span><span>Sum of geometric series is given by the formula
</span>Sum=a1*[1-r<span>^n]/[1-r]
</span>Sum=1*[1-3^12]/[1-3]-----> Sum=[1-3^12]/[1-3]----> [3^12-1]/[3-1]
<span>Sum=531440/2-----> 265720
the answer is
265720

2.2 pints because 1 gallon is equal to 8 pints so then you divide 8 by 3 because their is 3 containers.
