y=3x+3 2y= 2/3x +12 how to solve to systems of equation?
Isolate one of the variables of one of the equations (doesn't matter what variable or equation, but some ways will be easier than others) Your y is already isolated, now can substitute it into the other equation. Wherever there is a y in the second equation, put in what is on the right of the first equation 2(3x+3)=2/3x +12 Then solve for x Once you get that x, plug it back into one of the equations (doesn't matter which, again some ways will be easier than others) and solve for y then
6x+6 = 2/3x +12. I am confuse what to do next tho?
Do I take the 6 out or 6x?
first put all the x on one side
and everything else on the other side
Do I subract 2/3 to 6x
okay do that to both sides of the equation what happens?
Wait do I need to find common bottom for this one?
yes
I got 6/3.
\[6x+6\color \red {-6} = \frac{2x}{3} +12\color \red {-6} \\ 6x = \frac{2x}{3} +6\\ 6x-\color \red{\frac{2x}{3}} = \frac{2x}{3} +6-\color \red{\frac{2x}{3}} \\ 5x+\frac{x}{3}=6\\ 16x/3=6\\ 16x=18 \\ x=18/16\]
