Question

2x + 3y = 2
x + 6y = 4

help

Answer 1

What are you trying to do?

Answer 2

solve for (x) and (y)

Answer 3

First, isolate one of the variables, in this case, x.
2x + 3y = 2 ----> 2x = -3y + 2 ---> x = -3y/2 + 1
Then, plug that into the second equation and solve for the other variable.
(-3y/2 + 1) + 6y = 4
Solve for y.
-3y + 6y = 3/2
Combine like terms.
3y=3/2
y=1/2
Finally, plug that y value into either equation and solve for x.

Answer 4

so it would be x=4 and y=2

Answer 5

no x=4/3 right @gatorsfan75

Answer 6

It would be y= 1/2 and x=1, are those answer choices?

Answer 7

no my choices are
x=0 , y= 2/3

x=2 , y= -2/3

x=4/3 , y = 2/9

x=4 , y= -2

Answer 8

@gatorsfan75

Answer 9

Then the answer is x=0 and y=2/3

Answer 10

Plug them into both equations to double check my work :)

Answer 11

2x + 3y =2 -------------> (2x0=0) + (3x2/3= um im not sure how to do that @gatorsfan75

Answer 12

2(0) + 3(2/3) = 2
0 + 2 = 2 (CORRECT)
Next equation:
(0) + 6(2/3) = 4
0 + 4 = 4 (CORRECT)

Answer 13

Those are your answers :)

Answer 14

thanks alot @gatorsfan75
