Question

I have to solve the system of equations in this problem (which i have noooo idea what that means XD)

2x + 3y = 1
y = 3x = 15

help??

Answer 1

there seems to be a typo in "y = 3x = 15"

Answer 2

Oh! Its supposed to be y = 3x + 15 oops XD

Answer 3

start with the first equation 2x + 3y = 1

and replace every y with 3x+15 (since y = 3x+15)

Answer 4

doing that gives you

2x + 3y = 1

2x + 3(3x+15) = 1

solve for x from here

Answer 5

oh!

Answer 6

Wow thanks @jim_thompson5910

Answer 7

you're welcome

Answer 8

and once you get the value of x, you use y = 3x+15 to find y

Answer 9

ok cool

Answer 10

so @jim_thompson5910 the correct answer for x is -1?

Answer 11

x = -1 is incorrect

Answer 12

Oh really?

Answer 13

I did
2x + 3(3x + 15) = 1
2x + 9x + 45 = 1
11x + 45 = 1
11x = -44
x = -1
@jim_thompson5910

Answer 14

11x = -44 does not lead to x = -1

Answer 15

OOOH! its -4 ? @jim_thompson5910

Answer 16

oops XD

Answer 17

yep, x = -4

Answer 18

and y = ??

Answer 19

y = 2?

Answer 20

@jim_thompson5910

Answer 21

y = 3x + 15

y = 3(-4) + 15 .... replace x with -4

y = -12 + 15

y = 3

Answer 22

you were close

Answer 23

oh i just added wrong XD thsnkyou!!

Answer 24
