Answer 2

@RedBlade127

3x + y = 11
-3x + 2y = 1
==========

Add the two equations. The x terms will add to zero and you can solve for y.

Answer 3

Add them?

Answer 4

Yes..3x + -3x = 0

What's y + 2y? @RedBlade127

Answer 5

Just y

Answer 6

No.. 'y' is the same thing as 1y.

So what's 1y + 2y? (It's the same thing as 1 + 3 then adding a 'y' at the end of it)

Answer 7

Same thing as 1 + 2*

Answer 8

3y

Answer 9

Yes, and what's 11 + 1?

Answer 10

12

Answer 11

now what?

Answer 12

That gives us:

3y = 12

Now divide 12 / 3, what do you get?
