anyone help!!!!
yes?
help!!Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair. 2x - y = 10 3x - 2y = 8 anyone
Isolate one variable first ie. solve one equation for x or y
-_- dont get it totally forgot about this things
2x - y = 10 Add y to both sides: 2x - y + y = 10 + y, sp 2x = 10+y Divide both sides by 2: 2x/2 = (10+y)/2, so x = (10+y)/2 now substitute (10 + y)/2 in for x and solve Need more help?
do u have to give points or just a number
Usually "give you answer as an ordered pair" mean write you x first then y so, (x,y)
k
yes im confuse but anyways thanks for ur help
Ya so, the equation 3x - 2y = 8 Anytime you see an "x" you can now replace it with (10+y)/2 So after you do that it looks like this 3[ (10+y)/2 ] - 2y = 8 Now we have one variable so this is solvable!
omg that looks too much word
i think the answer is 5,3 or 4,6
Its not bad Distribute the 3: (30 + 3y)/2 - 2y = 8 Common denominator: (30 + 3y)/2 + 2y(2/2), (30 + 3y)/2 + 4y/2, (30 + 3y -4y)/2 = 8 Multiply both sides by 2: 30 + 3y -4y = 16 Combine "like" terms: 30 -y = 16 Subtract 30 from both sides to isolate y: -y = -14 Multiply both sides by -1: y = 14
So, now we know y = 14 so we can take either one of the two equations that are give and plug in 14 for y So, lets do 2x - y = 10 2x - (14) = 10 Add 14 to both sides: 2x = 24 Divide both sides by two to isolate x: x = 12 Now all we need to do is write our answer as an ordered pair then we are done! since x = 12 and y = 12 and x goes first then the final answer is (12,14) where 12 is the x and 14 is the y. (x,y)
whats
crazy man
Its gets much much easier with practice don't worry
-_- i hope uhh
thanks
hey man i need ur help again
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair. x + y = 11 -x = -y - 9
so u there
Try this one and ask questions as you go
-_- im just here to get answers lol honestly i forgot this freshman stuff even though ur explanations are very good
Well try khan academy.com "solving linear equations"
that doesnt work
