Solve by the substitution method 5x-6y=-12 5x+52=y
\[5x-6(5x+52)=-12\]
First you will need to rewrite the equation so that one variable is alone (no coefficient) and is on one side by itself. The second equation has y already by itself. Now we just plug 5x-52 in for Y in the first equation to get what Lammy has posted
So confused
I can draw this out for you (literally)
\[5x-30X-312=-12 \]
Go here and I can explain in detail http://flockdraw.com/8v51mc
you have y=5x + 52 just plug that into y on the top equation
and then use distributive properties
hey sorry for drawing on the thing. i was trying to chat. but couldnt figure out how.
its a cool software though.
it is you just click the A
This is actually even easier than that.. \[5x-6y=-12\]\[\implies 5x = 6y-12\] \[5x+52=y\]\[\implies (6y-12) + 52 = y\] No distribution needed.
thanks pol pak
Not that you should avoid learning to distribute well. =)
thank you I am learning as we speak. but thank you!!! I am trying to learn algebra...I am lol
