Question

Solve the following system of equations:

x − 2y = 14
x + 3y = 9

Answer 1

I'd use the substitution method I just showed you on your other question.

Answer 2

can you show me please

Answer 3

\[x-2y=14\]
\[x+3y=9\]
substract top from bottom
get
5y=-5
divide by 5
y=-1
so what is x?

Answer 4

how would you get x?

Answer 5

Look at @kmalone99's post...he solved it for y already. So you know what y is...just plug it into one of the original equations and solve for x:

x − 2y = 14
x - 2(-1)=14

Answer 6

so 12?

Answer 7

yes very good

Answer 8

thank you so much

Answer 9

great job
