you have a lot of questions =]

hero · Answer

First, I would solve both equations for y: 

y = (-16 - x)/4
y = (12 - 3x)/2

Then, I would break out a calculator and enter each equation

Lastly, the calculator would give me the point where the two graphs intersect: 
(8,-6)

lol, i know. i do the ones i can then post the ones i can't do on here. i suckkkk at math. (:

hero · Answer

You have a lot of problems you don't know how to solve

anonymous · Answer

yeah, cause i suck at math.

hero · Answer

You don't have to

anonymous · Answer

don't have to what?

hero · Answer

Suck at math

anonymous · Answer

it's not like i try, it just comes naturally to me.

hero · Answer

By the way, I provided a solution above.

hero · Answer

Sucking at math isn't something I consider 'natural'.

hero · Answer

I guess my solution wasn't good enough

anonymous · Answer

it's natural for me. i'm a hands on kinda person, &i do online schooling. so it doesn't help me any.

hero · Answer

You can do math with your hands. That option is available to you. 10 fingers, pencils, paper, finger tips for punching calculator keys and flipping through pages in a math book or clicking your mouse.

anonymous · Answer

but when someone's explaining it in person i understand it more, rather than just reading text books or computer stuff.

hero · Answer

8 fingers, 2 thumbs rather

hero · Answer

I can explain it to you

anonymous · Answer

not having a teacher does sort of suck. One idea i have is a guy that does videos for math, PatrickJMT. I find his videos very explanatory like a teacher. You can find his videos either on youtube (search for patrickjmt) or you can go to his site www.PatrickJMT.com
