Solve the top equation for x and then substitute that into the bottom equation and solve for y:
Top equation: subtract 4 from both sides to get x = y - 4
Substitution and simplify:
y = 4(y - 4) - 10
y = 4y - 16 - 10
y = 4y - 26
-3y = -26
y = 26/3 or 8 1/3 or 8.333 (those are all the same but in different forms)
The common ratio of both the formulas is 3 and 2. The first formula is explicit and the second is the recursive formula.
<h3>What is the recursive rule?</h3>
A rule is defined such that its definition includes itself.
1.
The given sequence is
-2, -6, -18, -54
Common ratio ;
r = -6 / -2 = 3
This given formula is the explicit formula.
2.
The given sequence is
4, 8, 16, 32
Common ratio ;
r = 8 / 4 = 2
This given formula is the recursive formula.
