Substitution

thesmartone · Answer

That's a good choice! :)

anonymous · Answer

Thanks

thesmartone · Answer

2x-3y=-6
y=-3x+2

So we take the second equation y = -3x + 2

and we substitute it in to 2x - 3y = -6

thesmartone · Answer

Do you know how we would substitute the 2nd formula into the 1st one, or do you need me to show you? :)

anonymous · Answer

I think so do you use the distributive property?

thesmartone · Answer

Kind of. :)

thesmartone · Answer

2x - 3y = -6

so we have a y value in our first equation

the second equation is y = -3x + 2

we just switch the y in the first equation with -3x + 2

anonymous · Answer

@TheSmartOne  so what is the answer?

thesmartone · Answer

2x - 3(-3x + 2) = -6

Solve for x
