x + 3 = 15 3y - 1 = 2x - 4 Solve the first equation for 'x' x + 3 = 15 Subtract 3 to both sides

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=12

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yes, now plug that into the 2nd equation and solve for 'y' 3y - 1 = 2x - 4 3y - 1 = 2(12) - 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3y=19 so does y=6.3

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, you got it

OpenStudy (igreen):

\(\sf 6.\overline{3}\) to be precise :P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well yeah , but thanks ....

OpenStudy (igreen):

Yep, and x is 12.. Just remember, when making those equations.. the one line through a side means that all of those are equal to each other.

OpenStudy (igreen):

Same with the two liens
