Hero will be here to help you

From the first equation y = 3x+4
Replace y in the second equation and solve. Can you do that this time?

And some others that are a bit smart :P

Solve simultaneously
multiply Eq1 by4 and andd to Eq2
to get x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x=-24/17
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[5x+4(3x+4)=-8\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I have 17x + 16 = -8. What to do after that?

Subtract 16 from both sides.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for x I have -1.41
OpenStudy (mertsj):
that it correct but it might be better to leave it in it's exact form which is -24/17
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Because now you have to find y which is 3x+4
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[y=3(-\frac{24}{17})+4\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[y=\frac{-72}{17}+4\]
OpenStudy (mertsj):
\[y=\frac{-72}{17}+\frac{68}{17}=\frac{-4}{17}\]
OpenStudy (mertsj):
So the solution is (-24/17,-4/17)
