Is it correct?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, but did you solve the system, or was it a lucky guess?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got help on that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't know how to solve it :/

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Since in this case, you are not given choices of x and y, only x is given, you don't have x and y values to plug into the two equations.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So only plug in the x?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

In this case, you really should solve the system of equations.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

I'll explain one method to you.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

This method is called the addition method. In this method, you need to add the equations, but the addition must cancel out one variable. Then, after you add the equations, you have an equation with only one variable that you can solve.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Let's look at this system: |dw:1412285232851:dw|
