3y
pooja195 (pooja195):
ok so we have \[7-3x+3y=-5x+2\]
pooja195 (pooja195):
ok now add 3x to -5x what do you get?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-2x
pooja195 (pooja195):
\[7+3y=-2x+2\]

\[+3y=-2x-5\]
that's what you got
which is right
Nnesha (nnesha):
now just move -2x to the left side
to wirte it in standard form
Nnesha (nnesha):
write **
Nnesha (nnesha):
\[\huge\rm Ax+By =C\]
standard from of equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i'm confused a little bit

okay confused ?? about what ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
putting the -2 to the left time
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait so it's C.?
Nnesha (nnesha):
yep because -2x is negative on right side
and you have to add 2x both side to cancel out -2x from right side
