Hi.

luffingsails · Answer

Can you try to solve equation 1 for y?

anonymous · Answer

Put the first equation in the form y= - _____x + number

anonymous · Answer

umm so lost can u give me the equation in the form first? that might help me

anonymous · Answer

Show me what you've done so far.

anonymous · Answer

well i've got y=6x+5 but im not sure if thats right

anonymous · Answer

well i've got y=6x+5 but im not sure if thats right

luffingsails · Answer

6x - 5y = 5
-5y = 5 - 6x

luffingsails · Answer

y = (5-6x)/(-5)

luffingsails · Answer

Now, take that equation and substitute it into the second equation. Then solve for x.

luffingsails · Answer

It's a bit of book work, but you can give it a try. I'll be back to help.

uh wow o.o

anonymous · Answer

ok i got 6x-5=4-3x                       combine 6x and 3x and its 9x and add -5+4? or?

anonymous · Answer

You should get 9x - 5 = 4 , so you are correct. So 9x=9 , so x=?
