Answer 1

There are two methods to solve a system of linear equation with two variables

1.Substitution.

2.Elimination.

Which method do you think you want to solve it with ? Most students find Elimination easier but i would recommend substitution.

Answer 2

I suck at elimination so substituion

Answer 3

Awesome so let me show you how to avoid contradiction by naming them @meggy

Use equation number 1 and get the value of x out of it.

Use the same page to work by pressing the pencil draw.

Answer 4

@meggy I am here for you,start working.

Answer 5

well like what do i do with Y do i ignore it on the first one?

Answer 6

Well let it be there you just move everything at one side and get x for me from equation 1

Answer 7

just curious dohow do i get everything to 1 side? ive never been good at these and my teachers never tought me this stuff.

Answer 8

@meggy Yeah you just get them on the other side,do not worry if you do it wrong i am not going to leave until i get this solved by you :D

Answer 9

okk hurray :)

Answer 10

So start with equation (1)

Answer 11

it wouldnt let me. but some how i got x=14 by taking awaying 4 and then some how i added one and yea i got 14.
