Question

Will Fan and Medal for this simple question i don't understand :(

Answer 1

How can x + 2 = -3x + 11 be set up as a system of equations?

Answer 2

no need to bribe a fan or medal...i'll make you understand

Answer 3

Haha thanks a lot i was just trying to be nice not bribe but if you can help me understand it would be nice :)

Answer 4

ok pls repeat the question?

Answer 5

How can x + 2 = -3x + 11 be set up as a system of equations

Answer 6

its very simple ...for setting up system of equations you need 2 variables ...is that understood?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

then it is as simple as writing
x+2 =y
-3x + 11 = y

Answer 9

Wait, seriously?

Answer 10

Oh

Answer 11

You simply need to equate each expression to y so they both resemble a system of equations. Haha i feel so silly now. Thanks for the help :)

Answer 12

thats it

Answer 13

pretty silly idea though isn't it?

Answer 14

Yeah it is

Answer 15

when you go to higher class ....you may get problems of forming system of equations for a sencond order differential equation

Answer 16

sorry *second

Answer 17

Oh, do you mean like initial value problems and such?

Answer 18

yes you can write a second order differential equations into two first order equations ...which would make the problems simpler

Answer 19

ok did you understand that?

Answer 20

yes thank you
