OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

3x=-12y+15 x+4y=5 x=-4y+5 x+4y=5 x+4y=5 x+4y=5 now, you tell me

OpenStudy (phebe):

Did you substitute?

OpenStudy (phebe):

@SolomonZelman Can you finish helping me?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I divided eq1 by 3 and added 4y to both sides (also in eq1).

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

That gave me that these equations are same.

OpenStudy (phebe):

So should i put the anser is 2?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

no

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

when you have two functions y=f(x) and y=g(x) then, the solutions are the x-values that satisfy g(x)=f(x). If f(x)=f(x), then it is equivalent for all x values.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

here, our f(x) and g(x) are also same. So for both y and x, we have how many solutions?

OpenStudy (phebe):

=we have 1 solution
