Question

y=-x+2
y=3x-1

Answer 1

and your goal is to?

Answer 2

pass algebra

Answer 3

Maybe they wish to achieve greater?

Answer 4

need to graph it

Answer 5

as separate functions? if so, make a table, then plot the points

Answer 6

for both

Answer 7

need to find the point that they will meet t

Answer 8

by graphing?

Answer 9

no find solutions of x and why the graph it an tell where point it. just need help with the equations

Answer 10

arrggh

Answer 11

why not rearrange 1 equation and sub it into the other? You know what I mean?

Answer 12

i know what you mean but i am bad at this and cant get it figured right

Answer 13

so rearrange y=-x+2 or y=3x-1 to solve for x

Answer 14

where it becomes x=

Answer 15

so x=2+y ?

Answer 16

a little off there. forgot something

Answer 17

x=2-y

Answer 18

yup

Answer 19

what next?

Answer 20

k and then put that in the 2nd equation right?

Answer 21

ay

Answer 22

y=3(2-y)-1 --> y=6-3y-1 --> y=5-3y

Answer 23

what else?

Answer 24

stumped after that

Answer 25

their are 2 y-variables still

Answer 26

oh so add 1 y too each side?

Answer 27

well 3 y

Answer 28

ay

Answer 29

so 4y=5 ?

Answer 30

then divide both sides by 4 right?

Answer 31

ay

Answer 32

so then how do i put that in to figure x?

Answer 33

y=?

Answer 34

sub the value for whatever valeu you found into 1 of the equations

Answer 35

5/4 or 1.25

Answer 36

ok. sub that value as y into one of the equations

Answer 37

x=.75?

Answer 38

i have no idea. didnt do the math.

Answer 39

oh ok

Answer 40

well thank you so much . u were a huge help. might finally be getting this

Answer 41

well, good luck to you. that's all you need for this question then?

Answer 42
