Question

Hey there I need help with solving for x equation. Y= -2 
X+2y=7/4 I keep getting 23/4 but it is not the correct answer

abb0t · Answer

x+2(-2)= $\sf \color{}{\frac{7}{4}}$ $\Rightarrow$ x-4= $\sf \color{}{\frac{7}{4}}$

anonymous · Answer

Nope still wrong

phi · Answer

Are you sure about the equation?  if you really have  
y= -2
and
$$ x+2y = \frac{7}{4} $$
then x is 23/4

abb0t · Answer

I am never wrong. Just let that sink in.

anonymous · Answer

But they are saying the answer is 15/2

abb0t · Answer

Then they are wrong.

phi · Answer

Ask your teacher about this one.
