@camerondoherty
y=6x-14
y=-8x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what are you trying to substitute so I can try to help
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Its in the above comment i said
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
\[y = -8x \]Plug that into the first equation
\[-8x = 6x - 14 \]Subtract 6x from both sides
\[-8x - 6x = -14x\]So we have this right now
\[-14x=-14\]Then you can simplify this to:
\[x=1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so your substituting for y

So pretty much the same thing? Just keeping X's on one side
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Pretty much
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
You just solve for x by isolating x, sometimes you may have to move it to combine like terms though
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Well all problems on my home work are like those i showed you. So it shouldnt be to hard
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
And btw just to add one more thing
since \[x = 1\]You can solve for y in the second equation by pluging that in and getting the solution that:
\[y = -8\]So the ordered pair would look like:
\[(1,-8)\]

So pretty much like the others, just take the x away
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Take the x away? uh idrk wut u mean by tht
But it is pretty much like the others, exact same process
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Oh, ok Thanks
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Glad to help c:
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
:D YOur great. and y=6x and y-5x+7 would be (7,6)

OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Right
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Do you mean y = 5x +7?
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Yes
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Or y = -5x +7?
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
first one yo usaid

Oh ok, hold on lemme see...
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
Ok
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
and y = 6x or y= - 6x?
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
6x
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
No

It you got the x right, but you forgot to solve for y
y = 6x
x = 7
6 times 7 = x
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
I mean y
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
OHHH so you gotta plug your x into the short equation to. So itd b 42
OpenStudy (redneckoutlaw):
then what
OpenStudy (camerondoherty):
Then the ordered pair would be (x,y)
So (7,42)
