@algebra21 Try solving the second equation for either x or y (doesn't matter which-you pick!) Then substitute that in the first equation (you will only have one variable to deal with then in that equation)
myininaya (myininaya):
oh number of solutions
easier! lol
myininaya (myininaya):
well we know this isn't the same line!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
their would be none numbers of solutions correct??
myininaya (myininaya):
same line => infinitely many solutions (which we don't have)
parallel lines=> no solution (which we don't have)
Any other=we have one solution

Do we have parallel lines?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no we dont
myininaya (myininaya):
Then the answer is not no solution
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then the answer would be one solution correct?
myininaya (myininaya):
right! :)
