Solve, using the substitution method. 4x + 2y = 11 x – 2 = – 2y A. http://static.k12.com/bank_packages/files/media/mathml_b6098f85676b94fd289e926a43c7146862b53aeb_1.gif B. http://static.k12.com/bank_packages/files/media/mathml_4dda929f2e7f6e0d32b7ed74a4b7db036270160f_1.gif C. http://static.k12.com/bank_packages/files/media/mathml_dd2fea1a7ee663bab5f73749df72867ff1675ca9_1.gif D. http://static.k12.com/bank_packages/files/media/mathml_66052864094b9928e45357c5ec899b46be1b736d_1.gif

hartnn (hartnn):

x-2 =-2y add 2 on both sides what u get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

btw love your photo

hartnn (hartnn):

thanks :) and x-2 = -2y adding 2 on both sides gives \(x = 2-2y\)

hartnn (hartnn):

plug this 'x' in the first equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry i'm confused honestly i am

hartnn (hartnn):

you got this, right ? \(x= 2-2y\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what do you mean plug in 'x' to this equation

hartnn (hartnn):

i plug that in 4x+2y =11 so \(4(2-2y) +2y =11\) it just means replace x by 2-2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i would have.......2x-2y?

hartnn (hartnn):

whats 4(2-2y) = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8-8y

hartnn (hartnn):

yes 8-8y +2y =11 can you solve this for y ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to add 2 by 8?

hartnn (hartnn):

combine like terms

hartnn (hartnn):

-8y +2y = (-8+2)y = ...

hartnn (hartnn):

11 -8 = ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok give second plz

hartnn (hartnn):

give u what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok... -8y+2y=-6y 11-8=3

hartnn (hartnn):

yesh -6y = 3 so y = ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B

hartnn (hartnn):

no y = -3/6 = -1/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so A

hartnn (hartnn):

yep :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
