What is the solution to the system of equations represented by the two equations? y=2/3x y=-2/3x+4 (???),(???)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set the equations equal to zero and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for x So, what is 2/3+(-2/3)

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

One moment i was tagged brb

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Can you explain to me how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

plug in zero for y and solve

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay. So, if you add a positive and negative of the same number, you get 0. That is exactly what's happening here. -2/3+2/3=0 That is what x equals

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

So right now we have (???),(0) correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or you can do that, my bad i totally over looked this problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, in your solution, it is going to be (0,?) Plug in 0 for x, and solve for y

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Or is it the opposite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Opposite because x=0, and x always comes first in a (?,?) problem.

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Ok so (0),(???) ok so now i would do the same thing?

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Sorry I'm awful at math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, you would do -2/3(0)+4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And it's okay, I love math so it's no problem lol

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Idk how to do that as an equation i keep getting 3.3333

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, any number multiplied by 0 is going to be zero. So the part where you multiplied 2/3 by 0 is gone. You're left with y=4 So, that's the answer to your equation It would be (0,4) I hope that helped lol

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

It helped very much would you mind helping me with three more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, I can do that

OpenStudy (twizttiez):

Let me open a new ? so you can get more medals one second

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okie dokie
