Question

=

Answer 1

You first want to solve for one variable in terms of the other, and then plug that answer into the other equation. This way you'd be solving an equation with only one variable.

Answer 2

I tried that, i had x= -7+3y

Answer 3

then did 2(-7+3y)-6y= -14

Answer 4

-14+6y-6y= -14 wth?

Answer 5

Oh, you need to plug in your answer in the other equation, not the same one.

Answer 6

7(3y-7)-11=9y

Answer 7

so 21y-60= 9y?

Answer 8

Yeah, which changes to 12y=60

Answer 9

ok so y=5, then replug?

Answer 10

Yep, in either equation, since both have x's you can solve for.

Answer 11

so -7+3(5)= x=8, y=5?

Answer 12

Try it, are the both of the equations true with those values?

Answer 13

yep, ty

Answer 14

Yeah no problem
