Are you solving for x?
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
You just gave 1 equation
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@Astrophysics
1. 6 y − x = −30
5y − x = 10
2. 5y + x = −30
5y + x = 10
3. 6y − 6x = −30
5y − 5x = 10
4. 5y + 5x = −30
5y + 5x = 10

One problem at a time.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
those are the answer choices

I don't understand, what exactly is the question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
To rewrite y= 1/6x-5 and y=1/5x+2 as a system of equations
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I got A :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
It's already a system of equation, but I see you just want to simplify it.

So you have \[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }x-5\] so setting it up as they've showed you, so first move 1/6x to the left side how do you do that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6x=1/6x-5 ?
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you see the answer choices?
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
Yes

was A right?
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
So for your first one you have \[y-\frac{ 1 }{ 6 }x=-5\]
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
Honestly, if you're not interested in the process tell me now.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, not really :) Sorry
OpenStudy (astrophysics):
Ok then, good luck!
