if your looking for x you isolate it by moving y to one side of the equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
k
OpenStudy (help!!!!):
for instance we we moved all the y to the right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok so we would add -3y to both sides?
OpenStudy (help!!!!):

and so it would become -3x=3y. so now what?
OpenStudy (abb0t):
you're already given you'r x value
it says
y = -x.
Just substitute -x for your y and solve.
OpenStudy (help!!!!):
it depends on what you are looking for, if you look for x you divide by -3 to both sides of the equaation
OpenStudy (help!!!!):
if you look for y just divide 3 to both sides
OpenStudy (abb0t):
then once u have ur x. u plug it into your y = -x and thats ur Y.
