Solve the pair of simultaneous equations. 3x-2y=10 2x+5y=13
hmm lets see
first solve the top equation for y. Can you do this?
nope
can you try?
i dnt know what to do @Outkast3r09
can u make y the subject of the formula? @Tashagaye
of which formula @hubertH
@Outkast3r09 i dnt understan why cant u help me i dnt understan
the question
Well first you need to go back and review the properties or equalities before you try to handle this problem
These properties simply state that basically, if you use a sign on one side of an equality, you must do the same sign on the right side to keep them equal to eachother (this includes subtraction, addition, multiplication, division, exponents, radicals)
Addition \[x=y\] \[2=2\] \[x+2\neq y\] \[2+2\neq 2\] \[x+2=y+2\] \[4=4\]
3x - 2y =10 so minus 10 both sides 3x-2y-10=0 so add 2y both sides 3x-10=2y divide both sides by 2 3x-10/2=y
hubert, especially don't give the answer in this case... properties of equalities are needed for almost everything
i still dnt get ur working out @Outkast3r09
alright so if you have something such sa \[x=y\] in which a set such as (2,2) works, if you manipulate one side of the equation, the equality no longer stands. See how when i added two to one side and not the other, the equality broke and it was no longer equal. However when i added two to both sides it kept it equal
so using , addition subtraction division and multiplication, you want to get \[y=something\] for the first equation
