do you know what "substitution" method means?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
just asking
"no" is a fine answer i can show you if you do not know it
MsBrains (ms-brains):
Yes, It's when you substitute in the equation, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes'
the first equation is \[y=\color{red}{2x+6}\] the second one has \[3x-\color{red}y=6\] substitute \(\color{red}{2x+6}\) for \(\color{red}y\) and solve \[3x-(\color{red}{2x+6})=6\]

x=12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i believe so
MsBrains (ms-brains):
Okay, know what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now you would normally substitute back to find \(y\)
since \[y=2x+6\] and \(x=12\) you have \[y=2\times 12+6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
on the other hand, you only have one choice with \(x=12\) so i guess you can skip that step and pick that one

Wait, I don't understand.
What's is the correct answer?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you find \(y\)?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you got \(x=12\) right, that was the hard part, now find \[y=2\times 12+6\]
MsBrains (ms-brains):
Y=30
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
