t=2r+3 and sr-4t=6

ArcticFoxZX87:

Its called systems of engagement

AngeI:

No clue how to do this, one second let me try to teach myself.

tigerlover:

Im not sure how to do this either so

ArcticFoxZX87:

dang

AngeI:

I cant find anything of systems of engagement

ArcticFoxZX87:

my bad systems of equations

ArcticFoxZX87:

thats what its called

563blackghost:

I don't know if you are to apply t to the second equation... \(\large\bf{sr-4(2r+3)=6}\) weird name though....never heard of it honestly...

563blackghost:

is that really sr?

ArcticFoxZX87:

is that the answer

563blackghost:

I am asking if the equation `sr-4t=6` really is `sr`.

ArcticFoxZX87:

no its not this is 11th grade algebra

563blackghost:

is it `r-4t=6`?

563blackghost:

Well you can't have one equation with three variables if the other doesn't since this is system of equations... I can only assume that `sr - 4t = 6` is really `r-4t=6`. So I will work from there. We have two equations... \(\large\bf{t=2r+3,~ r-4t=6}\) The equation of t is already simplified to one side so we can use substitution. \(\large\bf{r-4(2r+3)=6}\) Simplify. \(\large\bf{-7r-12=6}\) Add 12 to both sides. \(\large\bf{-7r=18}\) Divide by -7. \(\large\bf{r=-\frac{18}{7}}\) You would plug this into the first equation to find t. \(\large\bf{t=2(-\frac{18}{7})+3}\) \(\bf{Let~me~say~that~I~am~only~assuming~due~to~not~enough~being~}\) \(\bf{unclear~about~the~variable.....~}\)

ArcticFoxZX87:

oh so u figured out the problem

ArcticFoxZX87:

how

563blackghost:

The equations you gave is `t=2r+3` and `sr-4t=6` There seems to be a mistype (because you can't find the solution if you have one equation with more variables than the other).... Thus I ASSUMED that `sr-4t=6`is REALLY `r-4t=6` So I worked out `t=2r+3` and `r-4t=6` do you understand? Can I have a photo of the problem?

ArcticFoxZX87:

i understand

563blackghost:

ok. If this is really how the problem looks then the explanation I gave above it correct, just work out the last part...

ArcticFoxZX87:

ok
