solve the system of equations using substitution 3y=-1/2x+2 y=-x+9
Step One: Isolate a Variable of your choice in either of the equations Step Two: Plug in that variable. Step 3: Solve for the variable. 3(-x+9) = -1/2x + 2 -3x + 27 = -1/2 + 2 -2.5x = 25 x = -10 Step 3: Input the variable back into either of the equations. y = -(-10) + 9 y = 10 + 9 y = 19
I dont have any choices as those answers
@xGuardians
Tell me your choices.
they are (3,6) (-1,8) (20,-4) (10,-1)
Bah messed up on my arithmetic haha, one second.
no worries
