3x+3y=21 -2x+2y=-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can someone help mee

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First find the value of x or y in terms of a single variable. For example: 3x+3y=21 3(x+y)=21 x+y=21/3=7 x=7-y Now substitute (7-y) in the place of x in second equation -2x+2y=-10 -2(x+(-y)=-10 -2(7-y-y)=-10 -2(7-2y)=-10 -14+4y=-10 4y=-10+14 4y=4 y=1 x=7-y x=7-1=6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would that be inconsistene, consistent, or dependent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What does those mean? inconsistene, consistent, or dependent. I think consistent is those which solution is possible. So it is consistent.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it means it can be solved so what would the solution be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6 and 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=6 , y=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks! what about this one -2x+4y=-12 x-y=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Substitute x=2+y in first equation.
