Question

HELP? WILL MEDAL AND FAN!

Answer 1

I knew it was something like and was told;

x-y=x+2
2x-y=4x+2y

But I have no idea how to solve this. Could someone show me? or walk me through it?

Answer 2

I think you posted this very same problem earlier, and that I tried to help you with it. What happened, if that's the case?

Answer 3

Didn't we work on this problem together earlier? If so, what happened to your previous post?

Answer 4

"I knew it was something like and was told;

x-y=x+2
2x-y=4x+2y

Why'd you close that previous post?

Answer 5

x-y=x+2
y=?

Answer 6

Follow sshayer's advice. Find y, if x-y=x+2 (above).

Answer 7

Any ideas?

Answer 8

I can only help you if you try :-)

Answer 9

how did you get that?

Answer 10

Move these terms to the left (-x, -2) It becomes x-y-x-2=0 Eliminate x, -x replacing to (1-1) * x-y-2=0 then 0-y-2=0 , -y-2=0, 0=0 y=-2

Answer 11

Well, I am here.

Answer 12

You have now two equations with two variables.

\[x-y=x+2 \\2x-y=4x+2y\]

Just arrange them:
\[\Large{ y=2 \\3y=-2x}\]

Answer 13

@Rz172
Do you follow?

Answer 14

Ok.
Step by step.
How can you simplify this one?
\[\LARGE x-y=x+2 \]

Answer 15

@Rz172
Do you face any difficulties?

Answer 16

Let me know where you are back!

Answer 17

-2?

Answer 18

what equals to -2????

Answer 19

x-y=x+2 = -2? @3mar

Answer 20

Yes
That would be like that!

\[\Large x-y=x+2\]
\[\Large x-y-x=x+2-x\]
\[\Large -y=+2\]
\[\Large y=-2\]


Did you get the idea?

Answer 21

In 2x−y=4x+2y do we put -2 in y or?

Answer 22

If yes, then it's 3?

Answer 23

Yes, that is right!
Plug in (y=-2) and tell what you got!

Answer 24

I got 3

Answer 25

You mean: you got (x=3)??

Answer 26

No, it would be x=-3

Answer 27

Thank you for the medal!
