anonymous · Answer

What are you trying to solve for?

anonymous · Answer

Find a solution to each system by the subsitution method.

anonymous · Answer

Try solving for y on the first equation and then replace what you found y to equal in the first equation into the second equation.. make sense?

anonymous · Answer

I think so I'll try it.... wish me luck

anonymous · Answer

Good luck(:

anonymous · Answer

I might be too late here but the far easier method is to solve for x in the second equation and sub that into the first equation

anonymous · Answer

oh ok thank you!!!! Ill try that way too

anonymous · Answer

yea anytime you are using substitution and you have an equation where one of the variables has a coefficient of 1 then use that equation to solve for that variable that way you will not run into fractions as much.
