Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL!
x+2y=14
What does x and y equal?

Answer 1

x=14-2y

Answer 2

There's only 1 equation and 2 unknowns, it's impossible to solve.

Answer 3

ya @zimmah ur right @RockStar02 is there another equation that goes along with this possible so we can solve with either substitution or so on

Answer 4

y= -5x/2

Answer 5

put (-5x/2) in place of y in the first equation.

Answer 6

i figured it out already... (-2, 5), (0,0), and (2,-5)

Answer 7

wat is dat???

Answer 8

the answers....i got them right too

Answer 9

uh how can u get sets of valus in linear equations?

Answer 10

There are infinite no. of solutions.

Answer 11

wat are u saying @tachyons ?

Answer 13

There are infinite no of points that satisfies the given equation.
Don't just think of integers. The question has not specified x and y as integers.

Answer 14

x=14 n y=7

Answer 15

Rock star i want the question once again!

Answer 16

okay heres another: y=2x+3

Answer 17

rock star i think u are just finding out values of y for specific values of x.

Answer 18

y=3 n x= -3

Answer 19

no. im am graphing these equations

Answer 20

@aaryaancoool there are many more points like that!

Answer 21

like (0, 0) graphing

Answer 22

i understand that rockstar its okay!!
actually in the beggining according to ur question i thought that ur asking for solution of 2 linear equations!!

Answer 23

O.o

Answer 24

but when there's only one eqn given,compare it with origin....

Answer 25

ok ok u are right!!!!!!!

Answer 26

Okay here is how I explain it: find the value of x and y. (x, y). use those numbers as coordinates on a coordinate grid

Answer 27

question closed

Answer 28

Tip

When a line is the graph of a given equation, the ordered pair of every point on the line is a solution to the equation. Therefore, the line contains all the solutions to the equation.

You can determine whether a line is the graph of an equation by choosing two points on the line and testing their x-coordinates and y-coordinates in the equation. If you don't get a true equation when you substitute each of the two pairs of x- and y-coordinates from the line into the equation, then the line isn't the graph of that equation.
