do you need to solve for a specific value of x and y?

anonymous · Answer

Well, under the x in the table are the numbers 1,2,3,4,5. the y is blank.

anonymous · Answer

oh ok, so what you want to do is take the values of x that you are given and then put them into your equation y=x-1 for x and solve for y for each value of x

anonymous · Answer

Oh could you maybe walk through it with me?

anonymous · Answer

What about the 2x + y = 11 equation btw?

anonymous · Answer

ok lets start with x=1, use the equation y=x-1 and substitute 1 in for x and solve for y to get y=(1)-1, or y=0, repeat that for the x values to fill in the chart. From the information given, im not sure what to do with the second equation

Maybe we first solve both the equations and then use that to finish the table?
