Solve by the substitution method
5x-6y=-12
5x+52=y

Question

anonymous · Answer

$$5x-6(5x+52)=-12$$

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

I can draw this out for you (literally)

anonymous · Answer

$$5x-30X-312=-12              $$

Go here and I can explain in detail http://flockdraw.com/8v51mc

anonymous · Answer

you have y=5x + 52 just plug that into y on the top equation

anonymous · Answer

and then use distributive properties

anonymous · Answer

hey sorry for drawing on the thing. i was trying to chat. but couldnt figure out how.

anonymous · Answer

its a cool software though.

anonymous · Answer

it is you just click the A

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

Not that you should avoid learning to distribute well. =)
