Well we know that y=2x+2 therefore plug that in for the first problem
x+(2x+2)=-3
OpenStudy (rebecca):
Now solve for x.
OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):
i honestly have no idea hoe to do this . like at all
OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):
how*
OpenStudy (rebecca):
Add the x terms. Then move all constants to the other side.

OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):
yeah i have no idea what constants are
OpenStudy (rebecca):
Example 2x+(3x+1)=-4
2x+3x=-4-1
5x=-5
x=-1
OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):
can you help me with this one -_- please
OpenStudy (rebecca):
I'm giving you an example. I can't do the work for you.
OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):

Okay. What is x+2x=?
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):
she's guiding you ^_^ don't worry, just be patient!
OpenStudy (rebecca):
1x=x
so 1x+2x=?
OpenStudy (itskayylayy1213):
i dont know nvm ill guess
ILovePuppiesLol (ilovepuppieslol):

OpenStudy (xxdragoonxx):
x + y = −3
x+y+−y=−3+−y
x=−y−3
y=2x+2
2x+2=y
2x+2+−2=y+−2
2x=y−2
2x/2 = y-2/2
x = 1/2y-1
