wow...you still didn't get the concept...this is the 3rd problem of the same type u r posting

firejay5 · Answer

I get it

anonymous · Answer

Then y r u asking for help again?

firejay5 · Answer

cause I can

hero · Answer

3x - 2y = -3
3x + y = 3

3x = 3x

2y - 3 = 3 - y

2y + y = 3 + 3
3y = 6
  y = 2

3x + 2 = 3
3x = 3 - 2
3x = 1
  x = 1/3

(x,y) = (1/3, 2)

firejay5 · Answer

@Hero You have to get rid of x, y, or both variables

hero · Answer

I did. I eliminated y

firejay5 · Answer

@Hero  3x = 3x???

hero · Answer

Well yes because

3(1/3) = 3(1/3)
    1 = 1

firejay5 · Answer

well it confused me, because not all work was shown

hero · Answer

3x - 2y = -3
3x + y = 3

3x = 2y - 3
3x = 3 - y
3x = 3x

2y - 3 = 3 - y

2y + y = 3 + 3
3y = 6
  y = 2

3x + 2 = 3
3x = 3 - 2
3x = 1
  x = 1/3

(x,y) = (1/3, 2)

hero · Answer

If you don't understand that, I can't help you

firejay5 · Answer

I mean we got the same answer

anonymous · Answer

Are you following Hero's solution? It's hard to tell if you are confused or are actually fine and just not getting what Hero is saying.  No need for more explanation if you "get it"...  but if not, clarify what you are asking at this point.

I get it, all the work wasn't shown out is what confused
