Question

Solve the SYSTEM please help!!
x = y + 11
2x + y += -2
A. no solution
b. (-13, 2)
c. (0, -11)
d. (3, -8)

Answer 1

There are many different ways to solve systems.

For this one, the best one is substitution.

Substitute 'y + 11'(from the first equation) for x in the second equation.

Answer 2

i'm still confused..

Answer 3

2x + y = -2

Input 'y + 11' for x:

2(y + 11) + y = -2

Distribute 2 into the parenthesis:

2y + 22 + y = -2

Subtract 22 to both sides:

2y + y = -24

Add:

3y = -24

Can you solve the rest? @kaileyperez11
