Can someone show me the steps to solve: 3x=2y+10 9y=3x-7

myininaya (myininaya):

ok you see you have 3x=2y+10 right?

myininaya (myininaya):

you also see 3x in the other equation right?

myininaya (myininaya):

so you can rewrite the second equation using the first by saying 9y=(2y+10)-7

myininaya (myininaya):

can you solve this for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you eliminate the 3x, because they cancel out?

myininaya (myininaya):

i use substitution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay
