Question

solve the system of equations x+2y=2 and x=8-2y

Answer 1

it has a (1) beside of the first equation I dont know if that means anything

Answer 2

Substitute x = 8-2y into the first equation and solve for x. Then use that x solution and plug that into either equation to solve for y. Let me know if you have any issues.

Answer 3

That is kind of tricky. Just try it

Answer 4

ok i got 8-2y+2y=2 so far

Answer 5

that is equivalent to 8=2

Answer 6

The equations are contradictive.

Answer 7

ok so the ordered pair would be (8,2)?

Answer 8

Tena32 don't try and trick us! lol

Answer 9

lol im not this is what it says in my work

Answer 10

Look at what the system produces.
x+2y=2
x+2y=8

they contrtadict each other, can not be solved.

Answer 11

it has x+2y=2 (1)
x=8-2y (2)

Answer 12

so there is no solution

Answer 13

what does the (1) and stuff mean

Answer 14

Yes but (2) also says x+2y=8..........add 2y to both sides of the equal sign. You put the (1) and (2) to identify the equations (I guess lol)

Answer 15

lol i have no clue

Answer 16

im just checking my answers to see if they are right. some of them I just cant get

Answer 17

This is like saying x=8, and x=12 what is really x?

Answer 18

Do you have an answer key, just curious what the "approved" answer would be.

Answer 19

no i dont have it, I wont know if its wrong until i submit it

Answer 20

I don't see a solution. Let me think a bit.

Answer 21

oh its says the solution is blah blah or there is no solution

Answer 22

those are the two choices

Answer 23

go for the no solution

Answer 24

type an ordered pair or there is no solution

Answer 25

ok thanks.

Answer 26

I am thru thinking. If you plotted each of those linear equations you would get two parallel lines that would never intersect.

Usually when you plot linear equations asking for a solution, the lines will intersect at the point of the solution.
