Hint: To perform the least amount of steps, substitute x+2 in place of y into the second equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 2x+x+2=11?? @Hero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@moser90 ???? you ignoring me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no just letting you get an ideal on how to do them some of them are better at explaining these then me
OpenStudy (anonymous):

You had the right set up @broderick365, now solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
how would we go about doing that @Hero
OpenStudy (anonymous):
combine like terms
hero (hero):
You're telling me that if given 2x+x+2=11, you cannot solve for x from there?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what is 2x + x
and if you want to combine 2 and 11 (which are on different sides of the equals sign) what do you do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be 3x +2+11??

close.
3x + 2 = 11
3x = 11-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
cmon two more steps and you are home free!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x=9
x=3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you got it. good job
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so whats y=??

you can take either equation [the first will be easier] and substitute x back in.
y = x+2
y = 3 +2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
any other example you need help with?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yess alot @grrB34R
