WILL FAN AND/OR MEDAL 
what is the solution to this system, use substitution
y=x+6
y=2x

directrix · Answer

You are looking for an ordered pair (x,y) should that the values of x and y cause both equations to be true statements at the same time.

y=x+6
 y=2x
-------
Try substitution.

y = x+ 6
But y also equals 2x.

So, 2x = x + 6.

Solve for x and post what you get. Then, we'll find the value of y. Okay? @kristyn-whitaker

anonymous · Answer

3x+6 i think

anonymous · Answer

@Directrix

directrix · Answer

Your task is to solve this equation for x:  So, 2x = x + 6.

2x = x + 6
Subtract x from each side.

So, 2x = x + 6.
      -x     -x

x = ?     @kristyn-whitaker

anonymous · Answer

-1x=2 then right?

@Directrix

directrix · Answer

No, you are losing the equality sign.

directrix · Answer

So, 2x = x + 6.

Question:  What is 2x - 1x equal to?   @So, 2x = x + 6.

anonymous · Answer

im so confused they teach us so different here than what your trying to teach me

directrix · Answer

If you had two dogs and one of them ran away, how many dogs would you have left?

This is related to the question 2x - 1x = ?. We are close to a solution.

So, how many dogs are left?

anonymous · Answer

1

directrix · Answer

>>-1x=2 then right?  This is not correct. 
-------------
Yes, one dog is left so 2x - 1x = x,

Now, for the value of x.

What is  x + 6 - x =?

In this scenario, you had one dog and 6 birds. The dog ran off and left you with the 6 birds. So x = 6.

Here's the algebra for that:

  x = 6 ----> Now find y.

directrix · Answer

y=2x
y = 2 * 6 = ? @kristyn-whitaker

anonymous · Answer

y=12?

directrix · Answer

Write the solution as an ordered pair.

(6, ?) where ? is what you got for y.

YES, y = 12

So, the answer is (6, 12)
x = 6 and y = 12

anonymous · Answer

(6,12)
