@iceicebaby please help me
OpenStudy (happinessbreaksbones):
are you trying to find the slope-intercept form?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no just solving for x and y
OpenStudy (happinessbreaksbones):
@mertsj
OpenStudy (mertsj):
1. Multiply the bottom equation by -2
2. Add the result to the first equation.
3. You have now eliminated y.
4. Solve the resulting equation for x.
5. Replace x with the result of step 4 and find y.

No. -4+5=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh I subtracted instead of adding
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4=-4
y=1
?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
|dw:1379986270421:dw|
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay I have another one but with substitution method can you check and see if I did that right? @Mertsj

I can.
OpenStudy (mertsj):
x-2(-4x+5)=8
x+8x-10=8
9x-10=8
9x=18
x=2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh wow I make the stupidest mistakes -__-
OpenStudy (mertsj):
We all do. With practice we make fewer.

okay for finding Y
x-2y=8
(2)-2y=8
-2y=10
y=-5
please tell me that's correct
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Use the first equation that says y = -4x+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So...
Y=-4x+5
Y=-4(2)+5
Y=-8+5
whats next?
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Add -8+5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so y=-3
