1 question per post, so I'll just answer the first one.

ok this is just some homework im having toruble with

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We can rearrange the first equation: j + k = 3 Subtract 'k' to both sides: j = -k + 3 Now we can plug this in for 'j' in the 2nd equation: j - k = 7 -k + 3 - k = 7 Simplify: -2k + 3 = 7 Subtract 3 to both sides, what's 7 - 3?

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so we have: -2k = 4 Now divide 4 / -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so k = -2 Now we plug this back into any of the two equations to solve for 'j': j + k = 3 j + -2 = 3 Add 2 to both sides, what's 3 + 2?

You there? @Blackula123

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry my mom called me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, so 'j' is 5. And 'k' is -2. So we have (5, -2).
