Show work to determine if (1,4) is a solution to the system: y - 2x = 2 and y=4x - 6​

not a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine if (1, 4) is a solution to the system

Substitute x = 1, y = 4 into the equations and check validity

y - 2x = 2

y - 2x = 4 - 2(1) = 4 - 2 = 2 = right side ← True

4x - 6 = 4(1) - 6 = 4 - 6 = - 2 ≠ 4 ← False

First equation is satisfied but second is not

Thus (1, 4) is not a solution of the system

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry
