Question

How can I solve the following system of equations?

g + 25 = s
g + s = 425

Answer 1

I would isolate g on the 2nd equation

So you have

g+25=s

and

g=425-s

Plug that back into the first equation

Answer 2

So far, this is what I got: g + (g + 25) = 425

Answer 3

Oh! Okay! :)

Answer 4

If you use my technique you should have

425-s+25=s

solve for s.

Get that value to solve for g by plugging it back into either equation

Answer 5

Yep, I think I have got it from here.

Answer 6

Awesome. Feel free to let me know what you get so I can check for you.

Answer 7

Okay! Thanks!

Answer 8

Hm. Maybe not. What would the next step be?

Answer 9

To isolate s on the left side?

Answer 10

Answer 11

wait do you still need help?

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

425-s+25=s
combine like terms

Answer 14

Would we get the s's on the same side?

Answer 15

hmmmmmm.. sorry........... i dont kno w............................. i dont t hink i learned this stuff yet .......... sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

yes but you can combine 425 and 25 first

Answer 17

It's okay! @Saisuke<3

Answer 18

Okay! Then I would get ...

Answer 19

then add s both side

Answer 20

400 - s = s ?

Answer 21

Okay.

Answer 22

Wouldn't we subtract s from both sides?

Answer 23

425-s+25=s
425 + 25 =??

Answer 24

425 + 25 = 450

Answer 25

yes so now you have add s both side
