I need somebody to chack..i keep on getting the wrong ONE -.-

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Your question? @AloneS

alones (alones):

FOR THIS question i keep on getting this onebut my choices don't match >.>x + 5y - 10 = 0 x = 2y - 8 and i get 5x=2-y

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

So are you solving for \(x\) and \(y\)? @AloneS

alones (alones):

Yea For the following system, use the second equation to make a substitution for x in the first equation. x + 5y - 10 = 0 x = 2y - 8 What is the resulting equation in simplest form? -3y - 18 = 0 3y - 18 = 0 7y - 18 = 0

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Okay. I can help :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Let me get my work.

alones (alones):

THANKS :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Okay. So the first equation is \(x + 5y - 10 = 0\) And the second equation is \(x = 2y - 8\) I am simply rewriting the equations of the problem :)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Now, in the problem, they want us to use the second equation in order to get the solution for the first equation, which is, \(x + 5y - 10 = 0\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

So for x we want to plug in \(2y - 8\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Doing that, we should have, \(2y - 8 + 5y - 10 = 0\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Solving... \(2y + 5y = 7y\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Continuing to solve... \(-8 - 10 = -18\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

So... finally, the equation in the simplest form would be \(7y - 18 = 0\)

OpenStudy (aihberkhan):

Understand? :) @AloneS

alones (alones):

umm wai tlet me see it again
