Question

-8x+11y=83
What are the letters?. Please explain, medals will be awarded

Answer 1

What is the question trying to ask exactly? Right now you just have a linear equation.

Answer 2

The letters are variables...

Answer 3

wha

Answer 4

What numbers represent x and y

Answer 5

x and y are called variables, if that's what you were asking...

Answer 6

Or are you asking their values?

Answer 7

Yes.

Answer 8

What you have is the equation of a line.

Answer 9

I just want the numbers. aka values.

Answer 10

But that's just it -- with the information you've given us, there are an infinite number of x&y pairs that satisfy the equation.

Answer 11

Do you have any more information to go on?

Answer 12

By any chance, do the numbers have to be integers??

Answer 13

They are variables

Answer 14

Because if you're specifically asked to find integral values of x and y that satisfy the equation then x=2, y=9 would work...

Answer 15

thats what i was asking !

Answer 16

bump on the x=2 and y=9
