do you know how to work simultaneous equations?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not really, can you show me with different numbers?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no, these will do just fine, make x or y in either one of the equations the subject of the formula
OpenStudy (paounn):
Second equation is the first multiplied by -3. They are in fact the same equation, and the system admits infinte^1 solutions. Fix either x or y as t, and solve on the other.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so i will subtract 3x from both sides on the first equation?

yea u r going right, go brave and show me ur final answer!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3y=10+3x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops 3y=10-3x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
gud! now u want it to be just y on one side so now divide both sides by 3! and give meh ur answer!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-3x?

-3.3x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
u'll get y = 10/3 - x :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
understand?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes is that the answer to both of the problems?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nope, now u have to substitute it into the other equation
