Question

solve system of equations using substitution method

Answer 1

first start by solving one of the equations for one variable

Answer 2

@zordoloom original question

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

i would chose to solve for y in the second equation

Answer 5

ok

Answer 6

so do i substitute 0 for x

Answer 7

No, not exactly

Answer 8

start by getting y by itself and everything else to the other side

Answer 9

Rearrange either equation for either variable

Answer 10

-4.5x-2y=-12.5
-4.5x=12.5+2y
x=12.5+2y/-4.5

Answer 11

so the first equation would look like y=.25(25-9x)

Answer 12

so for the second one it would be y=3.25x+.75

Answer 13

Or the first equation could look like x=1/9(25-4y)

Answer 14

thus why i chose to do the second equation it looks simpler

Answer 15

ok ok

Answer 16

Now plug in the y equation or x equation into the appropriate variable in the second equation and simplify

Answer 17

anyways after you have done that imput that equation into the other equation

Answer 18

@NickR is correct, it would be simpler to solve the second equation for the y variable and then plug it into the first equation.

Answer 19

but who takes the easy way out?

Answer 20

there is no fun in that

Answer 21

-4.5x-2(.25(13x+3))=-12.5 and rearrange that by simplifying variables.

Answer 22

this is confusing to me im horribe at this stuff

Answer 23

there were too many equations

Answer 24

it would have been alot easier to do it my way and if you have time i would recomend going back and trying it that way

Answer 25

If I give you the answer, it would be too easy.

Answer 26

start off easy and work your way up after a while you will just see the path to be taken before starting

Answer 27

i know but what i meant was u both were tlkin at the same time so i got lost

Answer 28

sorry but i started first...
