@abbycross167  there????

abbycross167 · Answer

I am so sorry!!! :( My WIFI messed up... but I'm here now

abbycross167 · Answer

I'm not sure how to "plug the value of x in 2nd equation" 
like this?
 x = 3y – 6     =     3y-6=3y?
 2x – 4y = 8

rishavraj · Answer

the first equation says x = 3y - 6
so plugging value of x in 2nd eqn means
2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8

oh ok

abbycross167 · Answer

@rishavraj  what would I do next?

rishavraj · Answer

the equation u got is 
$$2(3y - 6) - 4y = 8$$
solve the equation to get y

abbycross167 · Answer

so this equation is y=10?

abbycross167 · Answer

@rishavraj

rishavraj · Answer

yup :)) good work ))

rishavraj · Answer

now plug tht value in any equation and get x :)

abbycross167 · Answer

Could you show me how to do that @rishavraj  please?

rishavraj · Answer

see u got the value of y i.e 10
now x = 3y - 6
so x = 3(10) - 6
