sorry gurl i have no idea! XC

isolate y in the 2nd equation

OpenStudy (ahsome):

Your two equations: \[-4.5x-2y=-12.5\]\[3.25x-y=-0.75\] In the second equation, try to get \(y\) by itself \[3.25x-y=-0.75\]\[-y=-0.75-3.25x\]\[y=-1(-0.75-3.25x)\]\[y=0.75+3.25x\] Substitute that \(y\) value into the first equatio \[-4.5x-2y=-12.5\] Sub the \(y\) value found before \[-4.5x-1.5-6.5x=-12.5\] Simplify \[-11x-1.5=-12.5\] \[-11x=11\] \[x=\frac{11}{-11}\] \[x=-1\] Now substitute the \(x\) value into the equation to find \(y\) \[y=0.75+3.25x\]\[y=0.75+3.25*-1\]\[y=0.75-3.25\]\[y=-2.5\]
