Please help me !!!!!!

compassionate · Answer

x - y = 14 
x = 3 + 2y

compassionate · Answer

Now solve for x

anonymous · Answer

Lol. I dont know how to. That is why i put it on here

compassionate · Answer

x - y = 14 
x = 3 + 2y 

So we know x = 3 + 2y 

So plug x into the first equation

anonymous · Answer

Ill just guess Lol

compassionate · Answer

Don't just guess. Just plug x into the first equation. We know x is equal to 3 + 2y, so take x - y = 14 and just plug it in.

anonymous · Answer

It really doesnt make any sense

compassionate · Answer

Of course it makes sense. You're just not understanding it. What part are you having trouble with?

anonymous · Answer

$$x-y=14$$$$x=2y+3$$
subsitutes the value of x $$(2y+3)-y=14$$$$y+3=14$$$$y=11$$
