y=-11/10x+17/10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Eh? sorry, i don't understand this much.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is this a systems of equations?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes.

Just one second and I'll have it

wait a sec, where is the = sign?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the second one should be 5x-7y=50, sorry.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what about the first one? ...=17 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes, sorry again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its alright, the shift key can get annoying sometimes

i know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y = -5, x = 3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks a lot. :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
here is how i did this: I wanted to get x or y by itsself so i turned 5x - 7y = 50 into 5x= 7y + 50
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then, i divided by 5

and got x = 7/5y + 10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then i just plugged that whole thing into the x variable in the first equation like this -11(7/5y + 10) - 10y = 17, then you distribute the -11 and add together the two y terms and put the constant on the other side and get y by itsself. After that you can just plug y into either equation to get x
