Are you looking to see if those answers are correct?I don't really understand the question.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Sry I'm looking for the other two that make the equation true
OpenStudy (hlambach):
Got it! Will be answering shortly. :)

This is aa point on a line, right? So (9, 4), right?

Yea
OpenStudy (hlambach):
But I don't even think the point (9, 4) is correct.
See:
2(9) + 3(4) = 30
Are you sure you didn't type it wrong? Isn't it supposed to be (0, 4)?
OpenStudy (hlambach):
It's an easy typo to make, considering the 0 is right next to the 9 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yea Sry typo
OpenStudy (hlambach):
No problem! Okay, so what I always do to make the equation easier to solve is to put it in slope-intercept form: y = mx + b

So just solve 2x + 3y = 12 for y. After that, graph the line and find out the second point
