Can you solve the first equation for x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Get into a form x = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

As you can see the first equation is already solved for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now plug in x=-3y-13 for x in the second equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So then you get: 2(-3y-13)+2y=-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no solve for y and plug y into the first equation to solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup
