Question

Please Help!!!
Solve the system of equations.

x + 3y = -1
2x + 2y = 6

Answer 1

(-4, 1)
(2, -1)
(4, -1)
(5, -2)

Answer 2

hmmm are you supposed to use... which method to solve it?

Answer 3

put it in slope intercept

Answer 4

plug it in then solve for x and y

Answer 5

I can use either method.

Answer 6

well.. if you solve say the 1st one "x + 3y = -1" for "x" ... what would it look like?

Answer 7

y= -3x + -1?

Answer 8

you can even use elimination

Answer 9

hmmm well... to isolate the "y" on the left side.. you'd need to "divide" by 3, both sides

Answer 10

for example:
-2(x+3y) = -1

Answer 11

Okay
