help?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

Solve the system of equations. 4x + 3y = 13 y= -x +4

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

so i need to find out what x and y equal

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

substitute -x+4 instead of y into first equation and solve for x

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

a girl needs help boom everybody is willing to help

pooja195 (pooja195):

4x + 3y = 13 <---equation 1 y= -x +4 <---equation 2 We are given 2 equations here equation 2 tells us the value of y Using the substitution method we can plug the value of y into equation 1 4x+3(-x+4)=13 solve for x

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

i dont know what to do

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

solve for x

pooja195 (pooja195):

4x+(3)(−x)+(3)(4)=13(Distribute)

OpenStudy (alexandervonhumboldt2):

distribute the parentheses

pooja195 (pooja195):

3 * -1=?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Are you stuck?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

yes this is so confusing for me

pooja195 (pooja195):

Ok |dw:1450472851747:dw|

OpenStudy (kingogcobraxx):

just give the girl the answer

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

- 3x and 12 ?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Perfect :) |dw:1450473005185:dw|

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

1

pooja195 (pooja195):

Good |dw:1450473096634:dw| 13-12=?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

im confused what are you asking? Did we just find x?

pooja195 (pooja195):

Yes We want to get x alone so we subtract the 12 from both side s

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

okay i get you... so 1 again

pooja195 (pooja195):

Correct we know the value of x now :-) Now we take the value of x and plug it into equation 2 y= -x +4 y= -(2)+4 -2+4=?

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

so x equals 2?

pooja195 (pooja195):

You mean y=2 We already found the x=1

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

yes lol my bad, ok so y=2 and x=1 you were so helpful thank you so much man:)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

did i help at all?

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

yes you did thank you as well :) ill fan both of you

pooja195 (pooja195):

*gurl ;) Anyways yw ^_^ thanks for putting your input @RhondaSommer welcome to openstudy yes you did ^.^ you showed a different method :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

oh okay cool thanks :)

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

y=3 btw not two

OpenStudy (annah.bee):

? what

RhondaSommer (rhondasommer):

look at the equation

pooja195 (pooja195):

Right correct i was thinking x=2 my bad thanks for pointing that out x=1 y=3
