Someone explain this: http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Extras/AlgebraTrigReview/SolveSystems.aspx the first problem..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where does the -2 come from???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he multiplied by -2 so the z's could be negative to each other, so when he added them together, they would cancel out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why not -1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Silly, nevermind!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because then it would be 4z -2z and that wouldnt cancel out

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks haha I realized that ...Im on an empty stomach lol
