Question

LAST QUESTION:
Solve the system of equations
y=x-6
x+y=-2

Answer 1

\[\large{y=x-6}\]
\[\large{x+y=-2}\]
take first equation first

Answer 2

that is we have y = x-6

Answer 3

put this value of y in the second equation...

I mean to say that :
\[\large{x+y=-2}\]
\[\large{x+(x-6)=-2}\]

Answer 4

can you do that further @Tutu ? what do you get for solving for x

Answer 5

yeahh umm i dont understand what you tryna say.

Answer 6

oh k no problem

Answer 7

I will explain u more

Answer 8

given y = x-6
right?

Answer 9

okay thanks

Answer 10

yeah sure right

Answer 11

so the value of y is x-6

Answer 12

right?

Answer 13

yeah

Answer 14

oh k so in the second equation we have :
x+y= - 2

Answer 15

right

Answer 16

now put this value of y = x-6 on the place of y in second equation

\[\large{x+y=-2}\]
\[\large{x+(x-6)=-2}\]

Answer 17

got my point now?

Answer 18

ohh okay i see

Answer 19

so we have :
\[\large{x+x-6=-2}\]
\[\large{2x-6=-2}\]

right?

Answer 20

yeah thats right

Answer 21

add 6 both sides what do you get? :
\[\large{2x-6+6=-2+6}\]

Answer 22

4

Answer 23

x=2

Answer 24

right

Answer 25

good work

Answer 26

:)) Thanks i actually learned how to do that

Answer 27

now we had : y = x-6

put the value of x = 2

Answer 28

y = 2-6 = -4

Answer 29

No problem and best of luck

Answer 30

so what will be the final answer?

Answer 31

y = -4 and x = 2

Answer 32

oh yeah thanks again :)

Answer 33

np :)
