Question

5x+5y=25

Answer 1

are you trying to find x and y?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

then they are both 1

Answer 4

oh wait

Answer 5

how do you get it

Answer 6

they are both 2.5

Answer 7

hahaha no way it is 1

Answer 8

@DragonFlame i know i just didn't read the question right

Answer 9

Ok

Answer 10

how do you get it

Answer 11

@traiely do you have a answer choice?

Answer 12

huh sorry im new at this and im super stupid

Answer 13

well actually I don't really know how to explain it, I just started at one and multiplied by 5 and I kept adding .5 until I solved the problem

Answer 14

Well, for your question don't you have like A,B,C,D?

Answer 15

*point 5

Answer 16

no

Answer 17

Ok, I will explain this question to you

Answer 18

okay

Answer 19

25/2=?

Answer 20

Or 25/5 and then 5/2 which would equal the same as 25/2

Answer 21

I divided it by 2 because there are 2 numbers

Answer 22

25/2=12.5
5*?=12.5??
12.5/5=2.5

Answer 23

So @notgoodatmathguy12 is right but he was just a little confused on how to explain it

Answer 24

so its 2.5

Answer 25

both y and x

Answer 26

lol thanks hunn

Answer 27

np ^.^

Answer 28

:)

Answer 29

What? lelel That's not how you do it..:o OMG MATH RAPED.

Answer 30

Or are x and y 5? XD

Answer 31

Wth... @traiely are you solving for the x and y intercepts?

Answer 32

yes @tHe_FiZiCx99

Answer 33

Ok, to find the y intercept set x for 0 and solve
to find the x intercept set y for 0

So for x, 5x + 5y = 25

5x + 5(0) = 25
/5 /5

x = 5 or (5,0)

Same for y

Answer 34

so x is 5 and 0 is y

Answer 35

>.< That is what I did in the beginning but than the + messed me up

Answer 36

or are they both 5

Answer 37

Both 5

Answer 38

okay lol

Answer 39

now what about -4x-4y=-64

Answer 40

The question is so broad... you said you're solving for the intercepts, so do the same thing I did to solve for x to solve for y. What's the original question?

Answer 41

traiely:

A lot of this discussion could have been avoided (made unnecessary) if only you had provided the instructions for this problem. For example:

If x^2 + y^2 = r^2,

Identify the center and radius.

Find the area of the figure.

What y values could be produced if x = 3?

(These are strictly examples.)

So, again, when you present a problem, present the instructions with it.

Good luck!

Answer 42

Here are examples of what you might have done with your original problem:

If 5x + 5y = 25, follow these instructions:

(1) simplify the given equation as much as possible.
Answer: divide all terms by 5: x + y = 5.

(2) graph the figure representated by this equation.
Answer: the graph is that of a straight line with y-intercept (0,1) and x-intercept (1,0).
