Hey, can someone explain an equation to me step by step? Ill fan and give a Medal.
I have to solve this using substitution, and I'm having a bit of difficulty.
y = 9x + 14
29x +7y = 6
I know the answer is ( -1, 5) Im just having difficulty understanding how you get that answer

since they gave you y= ... start by plugging that in for y in the equation below that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[29 x +7 (9x+14)=6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Wouldn't is be 7*14?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[29x + 63x + 98= 6\]

sorry, got mixed up for a sec

Its fine :) so you add 29 and 63 equaling 92x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[92x= 6-98\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x= -92/92 = -1\]

Then plug in x and solve for y right? Thanks for the help!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now that you have solved for "x". plug that same value in for x to get y
