I can help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :) ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep... Okay so these problems are in Standard form and you want to put it in Linear form

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so how do I do that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The Standard for of an equation is Ok you first need to split your x and y values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok for these 3x + 8y = 12 2x + 2y = 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes you need to divide the x on both sides of the equation, so you have the y by itself

@HackberryAbby18 sorry I was having trouble with my computer and that would be 8y = 6 and 2y = 1.5 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@mathislovemathislife

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes now divide and u should b set

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@HackberryAbby18 what about for part B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Same thing lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me out with part B too ? hah :) ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2x \div 2y=3 \div 2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=3/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is tht all for part B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No did u divide both sides by 2?
