OpenStudy (landon34):

Itll take me a minute to figure it out, then, Ill explain it in steps.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

ok. I don't want a direct answer.

OpenStudy (landon34):

Ok got it.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Alright

OpenStudy (landon34):

the first thing we do, is we add -1y to each side of the equation 5x + y + -1y = 2 + -1y

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Let me write that down

OpenStudy (landon34):

ok.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Ok

OpenStudy (landon34):

Next, we combine like terms: y + -1y = 0 5x + 0 = 2 + -1y 5x = 2 + -1y

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Ok

OpenStudy (landon34):

we then divide both sides by 5 x = 0.4 + -0.2y

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Alright.

OpenStudy (landon34):

you got it?

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Yes.

OpenStudy (landon34):

we finally simplify, but it cant be simplified, so that the the entire first equation.

OpenStudy (landon34):

Hold on, im gonna get a snack.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

K.

OpenStudy (landon34):

ok im back.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

Ok

OpenStudy (landon34):

we do the exact same steps as we did for the first equation, try it yourself.

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

What is the answer for the first one?

OpenStudy (landon34):

x = 0.4 + -0.2y

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

5

OpenStudy (landon34):

5 what?

OpenStudy (darthvader2900):

The answer is 5

OpenStudy (landon34):
