whos good at systems of linear equations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (zarkon):

"whos good at systems of linear equations" No one...we are all horrible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h

OpenStudy (abb0t):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hate it too trust me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

heres is the questions

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

speak for your selves....I love me some row reduction.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

jk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

y = x-2 and y = -2x+7 so plug the second one in for y in the first one -2x+7 = x-2

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it does

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats 1 part rihgt

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

correct

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

can you solve that for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do u solve it for x

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

-2x+7 = x-2 add 2x to both sides what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2 over 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/9

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

how did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

isn't it the answer that

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

-2x+7 = x-2 add 2x to both sides -2x+7+2x=x-2+2x notice the -2x cancels with the +2x on the left had side

OpenStudy (abb0t):

whose going 2 da club tonight?

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

so we have 7=3x-2 now add 2 to both sides to get 9=3x now divide both sides by 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u need to do a drawing picture in this cuz im lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@zzr0ck3r u there

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

before you try and solve linear systems. you need to work on basic algebra.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

you can draw the lines and talk about where they meet, but this is not how you are told to do it, and the way you are told to do it...cant be drawn.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyways my answer was right 2/9

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

no

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

the answer is 3

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

x = 3, now plug this in to either equation to find y.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the real equation for the first part 1

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

maybe abbot is making something pretty to show you:)
