-x+3y=6 2x+5y=-12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x+3y=6 -> x = 3y-6 2(3y - 6)+5y=-12 Can you take it from here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i got.. 6y+5y= 0.. now what

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y must be 0 then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Plug y = 0 into the original equations to find x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

help @Bad2zBone i dunno how to finish it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you plugged y = 0 into one of the original equations?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dunno how

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it will be.. -3x+0= 30 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-x+3y=6 you change y to 0 -x + 3 * 0 = 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will the answer be -10 @Bad2zBone

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Anything times 0 is 0, so -x + 3 * 0 = 6 boils down to -x = 6, hence x = - 6
