i think you try this first on your own, and if you don't get then ask...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@hartnn is it going to y= 5x-2?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x is pretty clearly 0 !
hartnn (hartnn):
now put y=5x-2 in 2nd equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry guys, whats the question is?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
find x and y yeah?
hartnn (hartnn):
-3x + 6y = -12
-3x+6(5x-2)=-12
tell me what you get as entire eqution, not just 30x.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3x + 30x + 12 = -12
hartnn (hartnn):
