Question

Can someone please help? Find the answer to
-2+x=-3+4y solve for x and y. Thanks!

Answer 1

You can do substitution or elimination.
Substitution:
-2+x=-3+4y
Let's solve for x first
x=-1+4y
Now, substitute the equation(1+4y) as x in the original equation
-2+(1+4y)=-3+4y

Answer 2

Ok. I still can't figure it out. (don't accuse me of not trying)

Answer 3

It's okay :) Um
so
-2+ (1+4y)=-3+ 4y
Get the equation out of paratheses
1+4y-2=-3+4y
Combine like terms.
4y-1= 4y-3
And now, you have learned that this problem has no solution. (No wonder you didn't get it) :D

Answer 4

Oh. Ok. Thanks!

Answer 5

Yeah :) Welcome.
