Question

-x+3 y=0, x+3 y=12 ..solve

Answer 1

This is probably easy for most of you..it isn't for me, sorry

Answer 2

add both of them

Answer 3

-x + 3y = 0
x + 3y =12
------------------

Answer 4

solving means, isolating "x" by itself, and "y" by itself.

Answer 5

if u add them both, x will cancel out... disappear,
and u can solve "y" first

Answer 6

can you walk me through it please

Answer 7

sure :)

Answer 8

-x + 3y = 0
x + 3y =12
------------------

Answer 9

add them vertically

Answer 10

-x + 3y = 0
x + 3y =12
------------------
0 + 6y = 12

Answer 11

see if that makes sense so far

Answer 12

yes so far

Answer 13

so you have :

6y = 12

Answer 14

just divide 6
so that "y" stays all by itself

Answer 15

6y = 12
/6 /6


y = 2

Answer 16

Half part of the problem is done.

Answer 17

that was really easy when you explained it what next

Answer 18

:) it is easy for u i can see...
u still need to find "x"

Answer 19

how do i find x

Answer 20

since u sovled "y" value already,
use it

Answer 21

plugin y = 2 in any one of the given equations

Answer 22

lets plug it in second equation

Answer 23

x+3y=12

put y = 2, u wud get :

x + 3(2) = 12

Answer 24

simplify it, and solve x. can u ha ? :)

Answer 25

nope but im learning

Answer 26

good :)

Answer 27

x + 3(2) = 12
^^^^

Answer 28

first multiply that

Answer 29

x + 6 = 12

Answer 30

next subtract 6 both sides

Answer 31

6?

Answer 32

x + 6 = 12
- 6 -6


x = 6

Answer 33

Yes !!

Answer 34

so, ur solution is : x = 6, y = 2

Answer 35

you are awesome

Answer 36

nope, you're awesome... u learned so fast :) keep it up lol !
