y=x=6 y=-2x-12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats your question?

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Yes what exactly is the question? It seems what you typed: y=x=6 y=-2x-12 Is a math problem for solving 2 unknowns but What are three equal signs doing there?

Hello Cooper - I cab help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he probly typed up the problem wrong. i dont see how y=x=6 could relate to y=-2x-12

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

CAN even LOL

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's solving each system equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you are saying both x and y = 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its probly just one variable that = 6

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

Are you sure that both equations are typed correctly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y=x+6 y=-2x-12

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

A) y=x+6 B) y=-2x-12 That's MUCH better A) -x +y =6 B) 2x + y = -12 Multiply equation B by -1 B) -2x - y = 12 then add to A) A) -x +y =6 -3x = 18 x = -6 Putting x=-6 into equation A we get --6 + y = 6 6 + y = 6 y = 0 There you have it !!!

you may think I'm stupid but what the heck how is that something that you teach a 13yr old to learn. I'm 33 and that makes no sense to me whatsoever

OpenStudy (wolf1728):

I'd say it makes a person think logically, solve problems , etc. I am NOT a math teacher.
