Wow, lots of work to solve...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, since I taught you how to solve these... lets guess and check. Ill try C and D, you try A and B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I solving for X or Y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C, gave me 0=-5 when I plugged in y. It gave you y=2x-5, so plug in the answer choice as the answer in the second equation then substitute the y in and solve for x.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D, gave me -10=10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer is B, because it ends up giving -5=-5 for infinite solutions.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thats what I got, thank you. I got a couple more is that ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.
