solve using substitution. 2x=y+9 5y=10x-45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is y from first equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure what youre asking.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2x+9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what should the equation look like to solve x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just put it instead y in second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5(-2x+9)=10x-45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@MclainJa and @jygebs y=2x-9 from first equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5(2x-9)=10x-45 just like what u did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u solve it for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-90?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it has infinite answers because after multiplication u have -45=-45

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it means 2 equations are same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy.thank you!
