What is the question? Solve the system of equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to use both equations to solve for x and y I'm assuming?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can re write one expression to in terms of either x or y and then plugin that value into the second equation to find one variable.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y = -1-x \rightarrow 2x - (-1-x) = -14\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

estimate the solution to the inear system graphically x+y=-1 2x-y=-14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Easy: Find the x and y intercepts for each equation such as

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y intercept (x=0) and x intercept (y=0)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for example, on the first equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+y =-1 y int (x=0) 0+y=-1 y = -1 (plug this coordinate into your graph) then x int (y=0) x+0=-1 x=-1 (plug this into your graph) Now repeat the same process for the second equation The coordinates for the first equation are (0,-1) and (-1,0)
