Question

;;;;;;;;;;;;;

Answer 1

What are your answers?

Answer 2

x=.75

Answer 3

it's not two equations, it's like one all together

Answer 4

Yeah, x= .75 isnt right.

Solve for y in one of the equations, then plug that expression in for y into the other. Then you can solve for x

Answer 5

okay, one sec then

Answer 6

2.5x-3(3.25x-y)=-13? :S

Answer 7

You did that wrong. The purpose is to have one variable to solve for. You still have 2.

lets solve for y in the second equation

y=3.25x+14

now plug the expression into the other equation for y

2.5x-3(3.25x+14)=-13

now solve for x

Answer 8

2.5x-9.75x-42=-13
-7.25x=29
x=?

Answer 9

i had the math right, for some reason though, i put -13+42=27 :S oops. thanks! is that all i have to do?

Answer 10

What did you get for x? dont you wanna solve for y also?

Answer 11

-.25

Answer 12

just plug it into the second equation to get y? :/

Answer 13

If you're doing systems of equations i assume you should know how to solve a simple equation...i did all of it except one step..

x=29/-7.25
x=-4

Answer 14

Input -4 into one of the equations for x and then solve for y

Answer 15

thank youu (:
