Answer 6

so true

Answer 7

No you do not haha

Answer 8

x + y = 5
y = 5 - x

now sub 5 - x in for y in the 1st equation

Answer 9

can you do that Zachary ?

Answer 10

x+5-xy=5?

Answer 11

2x + y = -2 (sub 5 - x in for y)
2x + 5 - x = -2
x + 5 = -2
x = -2-5
x = -7
understand ?

Answer 12

ohhhhh yea now i do

Answer 13

if you wanted to solve for y, you would sub -7 in for x in the 2nd equation and solve for y
