Is (-2, -5) a solution of the system, 3x + 2y = 4 and 2x - 5y = -29? A. yes B. no

myininaya (myininaya):

plug this point into each equation and see if you get the same thing on both sides for each equation

myininaya (myininaya):

plug in -2 for x and plug in -5 for y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm kinda in a rush i just need answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and plus its a yes or no question

myininaya (myininaya):

ok so did you try plugging in x=-2 and y=-5 for both equations and seeing if both sides are them same for each question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that wasn't an answer i just need a answer yes or no? im in a serious rush

myininaya (myininaya):

here i will get you started...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope too late now

myininaya (myininaya):

\[3(-2)+2(-5)=4 \] is this true?

myininaya (myininaya):

all i did was replace the x with -2 and the y with -5

myininaya (myininaya):

and -6+(-10) is not 4 so what can you conclude from this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that i failed

myininaya (myininaya):

So this means you should work through the problems to learn from your mistakes and you will get better at doing these.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no this means you should have just said that before instead of saying i should plug in and thats it not good help not good help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks for nothing :D ....................

myininaya (myininaya):

Ok this is not my fault you didn't ask any questions. I'm sorry you feel that way.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well the way i see it its really your fault i came for help but you didn't just tell me that i should do that you just said plug in thats why i was confuse i didn't know what to do after that..........

OpenStudy (shadowfiend):

Sorry man, if you don't want to get helped, you won't get helped. If myininaya is the one helping you, you get help the way she wants to give it. You should have felt free to ask someone else for help in chat or something, but in the meantime please be polite to the people who are taking the time to try and help you with your problems.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did wanted help i said why didn't he/she just tell me that the first time wouldn't that be easy? i don't have a problem like that

myininaya (myininaya):

I'm sorry I didn't understand that you didn't understand what I was asking you to do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and who wouldn't get mad just cause i was on a clock im just saying

myininaya (myininaya):

You can't put learning on a clock.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you online then you can

OpenStudy (farmdawgnation):

Fosterthepeople, as shadowfiend has already told you - you don't get to choose how people help you. If myininaya wasn't helping you the way that you would have liked, you can always go to chat and attempt to find someone else. Regardless, you need to make sure you maintain a respectful tone because 1) she's helping you out and 2) she's a moderator.
