what is x - x ?

Answer 3

Wait how would I do that

Answer 4

start with x
take away x

what's left?

Answer 5

nothing

Answer 6

good, so x - x = 0

Answer 7

now what is y - (-2y)?

Answer 8

so I would have to do the parentheses first?

Answer 9

How I still have to figure out Y

Answer 10

you don't, you just leave y as it is

Answer 11

hint:

1-(-2) = 1 + 2
y-(-2y) = ______

fill in the blank

Answer 12

It's confusing

Answer 13

y-(-2y) = y + 2y = ?

Answer 14

I start with y
then I add two more y's

how many y's do I have?

Answer 15

3

Answer 16

good

so

y + 2y = 3y

Answer 17

ohh lol I suck at math

Answer 18

then we finish subtracting

5 - 2 = 3

that gives us

3y = 3

so what does y equal?

Answer 19

1

Answer 20

good

now, we know that y = 1

so if x + y = 5, what does x equal?

Answer 21

4

Answer 22

good so our answer is

(4,1)

Answer 23
