What is the solution to the system of equations? x + y =5 x - 2y = 2 ( , )

OpenStudy (baru):

subtract the two equations (x-x)+(y+2y)=(5-2)

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

y=3 ???

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

@baru

OpenStudy (baru):

3y=3 so y=1

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

so what would the numbers be for ( , ) ?? @baru

OpenStudy (baru):

(x,y) you found y=1 now find x by plugging in y=1 in any of the equations

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

x = 4 right? @baru

OpenStudy (baru):

yep

OpenStudy (imamermaid29):

thanks :) @baru
