Answer 2

yes, I want you take the first equation minus the second one, what do you get?

Answer 3

0 -2y = -4

Answer 4

so y=?

Answer 5

0.5?

Answer 6

nope, divided both sides by -2

Answer 7

x = 1

Answer 10

you are right, I don't know on which way you get that, but YOU ARE RIIIIIGHT

Answer 11

know how to get, right? hopefully you say YES

Answer 12

4x + 3(2) = 10
4x + 6 = 10
4x + 6 - 6 = 10 - 6
4x = 4
4x/4 = 4/4
x = 1

Answer 13

BINGO!!!
