Answer 2

\[3x+y=3\]
\[x-y=5\]
u can start with elimination anything x or y
so if u eliminate x then from the second eq. u can write
\[x=y+5\]
now put this in the first eq. in place of x
\[3(y+5)+y=3\]
now solve for y

Answer 3

nicely explained :)

Answer 4

thank u @texaschic101

Answer 5

just telling the truth....I give credit where credit is due :)

Answer 6

:)

Answer 7

hay @Grim4
now can u solve it?

Answer 8

y=-3

Answer 9

yeah y=-3
now can u find out x

Answer 10

3(y + 5) + y = 3
3y + 15 + y = 3
3y + y = 3 - 15
4y = - 12
y = -3

yep...now sub -3 back into either equation to find x

Answer 11

x= -8

Answer 12

Now that I think about it i think that might be wrong o_O

Answer 13

remember the second equation
\[x-y=5\]so
\[x=y+5\]
now put y=-3

Answer 14

It's 2

Answer 15

yup correct :)
