Answer 4

would you like to expain it so i can "get it"

Answer 5

your statement last time confused me so much

Answer 6

much more than i was

Answer 7

let's say we have two equations that represent lines:
y=5x+2
y=2x+1

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

If they asked you how many solutions this has, could you do it?

Answer 10

i would think 2

Answer 11

A solution graphically means how many times the lines intersect.

Answer 12

meaning how many times the lines meet right?

Answer 13

Yes.

Answer 14

So if we wanted to know how many solutions (for example)
y=5x+2
y=2x+1
These two equations have, we would say their y is the same, and simply equate them.
5x+2 = 2x+1

Answer 15

ok
