okay

OpenStudy (ankit042):

try putting y=0 in both the equations...then find corresponding value of x similarly put x =0 and find value of y. Locate these points in the graph you will get your answer

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

A) 2x + y = –1 B) 3x + 2y = –6 Multiplying equation A by -2 -4x -2y = 2 adding this to equation B 3x + 2y = –6 -x = -4 x = 4 Inputting this to equation A) 8 +y =-1 y=-9 You now have the equations solved and looking at the graphs, can you see which one has x = 4 and y = -9 ?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

No - once you cancel out the y, then you have a value of x which you then input into the first equation. x = 4 2x + y =-1 8 + y = -1 y = -9

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes if you notice in the second graph, the 2 lines intersect when x=4 and y=-9

all right !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
