can someone help me?? i will give them a medal!
For the following system, if you isolated x in the second equation to use the Substitution Method, what expression would you substitute into the first equation? 3x + y = 8 -x - 2y = -10 A) -2y + 10 B) 2y + 10 3) 2y - 10 4) -2y - 10

can u help me nikki?

LETS SEE. :)

For the first one, y=−3x+8
i did i think it would be B
@Nikkeyiboo
I think so too. :)
thank you can u help me with like 4 more? :)
@Nikkeyiboo
is B right for the first one @mathstudent55
The problem ask to isolate x in the second equation. Let's start with the second equation: -x - 2y = -10 First, add 2y to both sides: -x = 2y - 10 Now multiply both sides by -1: x = -2y + 10 Now compare -2y + 10 with the choices.
its gonna be x = 2 + 10
@mathstudent55
cause 2 times -1 is 2 and 10 tie 1 is 10
i mean -2 time -1 is postive 1
hello? @mathstudent55
I have no idea what you are doing. I already gave you the answer. x = -2y + 10 Now compare -2y + 10 with the 4 choices. One choice is exactly that. Choose that one. Hint: It's not choices B, C, or D.
ohh okay thank you! @mathstudent55
can u pease help me with like 6 more please??
I have a better idea. Go over this problem as many times as it takes for you to understand it. Then you'll be able to solve similar problems by yourself.
Could I have a medal?
That's not cool. I wasted my time trying to help and nothing.
