s t and r?
OpenStudy (abb0t):
poop on it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It was need my book
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
say again?
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
this is two equations with three unknowns

I don't know I just put everything that was in my book on the web site
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
are you sure there is a t and a r?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry I miss it up it is 5s+9t=6 and 4s-3t=15. I'm sorry about that
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
ok this is good:0
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
5s+9t = 6
4s - 3t = 15
we want to multiply one of the equations by something so that when we add it to the other one, one variable drops, multiply the second equation by 3

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
5s + 9t = 6
12s -9t = 45
now add the equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and its two liner equations in two variables is to add the two equations
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
17s + 0 = 51
so s = 3
now use either equation to find t
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
5s+9t = 6
plug in s
5(3) + 9t = 6 so t = -1
so s = 3 t = -1 is the only solution
OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):
understand?
