Nnesha (nnesha):

ok thanks i forgot that hw to solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so do you know what those lines going up and down mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

they mean mean absolute value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so no matter what it will always be positive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha we can simplify 3x-3y=6 to x-y=2

Nnesha (nnesha):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lets try isolating x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what we do

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we are isolating x in both equations so we can set them equal to each other

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now for the other equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait forget what i just said

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we aren't setting them equal to eachother

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good we can choose from those

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so... remember what x was?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha the work is in an earlier attachment but x = 2+y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i did the work...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):
