3x=9 - 6y 3x+8y=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take \(-6y\) from the first equation to the other side. Your system of equations will then be: \(3x+6y=9\) (1) \(3x+8y=9\) (2) Subtract (2) from (1), you get: \(-2y=0\implies y=0\). Now substitute \(y=0\) in either equation, you get \(3x=9 \implies x=3\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, so move the -6y to the other side to get 3x+6y=9. For this specific problem, multiply the first equation by -1 to get -3x-6y=-9. Add the two equations up to get 2y=0. y=0. Substitute 0 into the second or first equation. I will do the first equation. 3x=9-6(0). 3x=9. so x=3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer??? im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(x=3\) and \(y=0\) is your answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omGGGGGGGGGGGGGG THANKSSS SO FREAKING MUCH!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:))))))))))))))) delighted to help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anwarA can you help me again?

If you give me a medal :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so desperate.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you both got medals!!! from me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and u just bumped me up a lvl! yay!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-10x - 6y=0 -4x - 6y=54

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Congrats some1!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Subtract (2) from (1), you should get \(-6x=-54 \implies x=9\). Plug this in either equation, you find \(-90-6y=0 \implies y=15\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks but whats x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ugh!! to late i already got it wrong flutterkkkk! =((((((((((

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hate negatives.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=-15.. Just a tyop.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry for that :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thanks any way =( will u be on this tommarrow?
