ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

may be isolate \(y\) from second equation and plug it in first equation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[4x= 6+3y\tag{1}\] \[-\frac{3}{2}x+y = -\frac{7}{2}\tag{2}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

do you know how to isolate \(y\) in equation (2) ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

read the given word problem 2-3 times and see if you can setup two equations

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

say number of videos purchased = \(v\) number of CD's purchased = \(c\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

she has \(6\) nephews and since she bought each one gift, the total number of gifts must equal \(6\) : \[v+c =6\tag{1}\]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

see if you can setup the second equation

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

I mean 1495v+1688c=9163

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Exacellent! do you mean \[1495v+1688c=9163\tag{2}\] ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

solve them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

x = japan y = switzerland ?

OpenStudy (vshiroky):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

looks good, solve them

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Yes!
