r u familiar with the substitution method?

anonymous · Answer

not really that y i need help lol

godlovesme · Answer

okiee this is how u do it :|dw:1427747675277:dw|
make sense so far?

anonymous · Answer

yes

godlovesme · Answer

yayy lol :p so next step is solving for x can u try? :)

anonymous · Answer

ok give me a min ill try

godlovesme · Answer

alrighty :)

anonymous · Answer

x=-2+9
x+2x=9
3x=9
x=9/3
so x = 3 ???????????

godlovesme · Answer

lemme check ..

godlovesme · Answer

yes u r correct it's 3 :))) nice job *insert applause* :p

godlovesme · Answer

so to solve y, it says y=x-1 
y= x-1 
y= 3-1
y= 2 :3

anonymous · Answer

yes so now all i have to do is wright it out and explain how i got my answers ??

godlovesme · Answer

yes :) and dont forget to include that the ordered pair is the solution and where the lines intersect :)
