- 3x + 7y = 2 - 2x - 3y = - 4 x = ? Please EXPLAIN why. Thanks!

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Any specific method?

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

A simple one maybe.

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

I mean substitution, elimination, matrices, etc.

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

There are no answer choices...

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Not sure what that means, but alright lets just do substitution method, have you used that before?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

Since we need x, we need to pick one of the equation isolate y (get y on its own) and the plug it into the second equation.

OpenStudy (tinylittlehelper):

So... can you draw how we do that?

OpenStudy (astrophysics):

|dw:1431741593438:dw| so pick an equation, which one do you want to solve y for?
