Please help! solve using the substitution method (Question in the comments)
do you know what "substitution" method means?
just asking "no" is a fine answer i can show you if you do not know it
Yes, It's when you substitute in the equation, right?
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
yes i believe so
Okay, know what?
now you would normally substitute back to find \(y\) since \[y=2x+6\] and \(x=12\) you have \[y=2\times 12+6\]
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?
did you find \(y\)?
you got \(x=12\) right, that was the hard part, now find \[y=2\times 12+6\]
Y=30
yes
which answer has \(x=12,y=30\)?
D.
bingo
