Question

6x+y=17

Answer 1

what would you like to do?

Answer 2

slove the system by the method of your choice.
6x+y=17
x+3y=0

Answer 3

any ideas on how to begin?

Answer 4

no :(

Answer 5

Can you solve your second eq for x?

Answer 6

subsitution i think would be the easiest

Answer 7

I would set them both equal to y.

6x+y=17
6x-6x+y=17-6x
y=-6x+17

x-x+3y=0-x
3y=-x
3y/3=-x/3
y=(-1/3)x

Then set them equal to each other.

(-1/3)x=-6x+17
(-1/3)x+6x=17
17/3x=17
17/3*3x=17*3
17x=51
17x/17=51/17
x=3

Answer 8

Then plug x into one of the original equations to find y.

Answer 9

yea what he said lol

Answer 10

She :) Lol but thanks!

Answer 11

lol is there a easier way.

Answer 12

Much easier if you would answer me

Answer 13

Answer 15

i guess :/

Answer 16

please do

Answer 17

what do i do?

Answer 18

im clueless uuugggh lol

Answer 19

solve: x+3y=0 for x

Answer 20

get x by itself

Answer 21

x + 3(0)= 0
x=0

Answer 22

no, why did you put a zero in for the y?

Answer 23

idk
