The system of equations is coincident. What are the missing values? 3x+y=7 9x+?y=?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

What does "coincident" mean to you?

OpenStudy (mathmale):

How does one obtain 9x from 3x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

um to be honest idk

If you were to draw a straight line and then use another color pen to draw another straight line right on top of the first line, the two lines would be "coincident." "Coincident" has different but similar meanings in general English usage and in algebra. Hope you're developing the habit of looking up words you don't already know.

ok

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Going back to my first question: Looking at the pair of equations given you, how does one get from 3x in the first to 9x in the second equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk

OpenStudy (mathmale):

From 3 how would you obtain 9? What are the four basic arithmetic operations you've learned?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok i got it now

How does one obtain 9x from 3x?
