@Vocaloid

Vocaloid:

they already tell you that "y = x + 3" so, since y = x + 3, you can take the first equation, 2x + y = 3, replace "y" with "x+3", then solve for x after you have x, you can just pick one of the equations, plug in x, solve for y

Nicole:

So x equals 0 . then y=0+3?

Vocaloid:

good so x = 0, y = 3 (0,3)

Nicole:

got it http://prntscr.com/mc852a

Vocaloid:

start with "sum of two numbers is 66" so x + y = 66 "the larger number is 2 more than three times the smaller number" so x = 3y + 2 so you can plug x back into the first equation, solve for x

Nicole:

where do i plug in x?

Vocaloid:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Vocaloid so you can plug x ***back into the first equation***, solve for x \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\)

Nicole:

Confusedd loll

Vocaloid:

you are given x = 3y + 2 this tells you that x = 3y + 2 so you can take this thing for x, replace "x" in the first equation with "3y + 2" and solve for y.

Nicole:

Wouldnt that be a fraction

Vocaloid:

|dw:1548449108832:dw|

Nicole:

y=16

Nicole:

so D

Vocaloid:

good

Vocaloid:

notice how you have -2y in one equation and +2y in the other equation, so try adding the equations together. the y's will cancel out and you can then solve for x.

Nicole:

C?

Vocaloid:

good

Nicole try rewriting this text in equations

jhonyy9:

3x + ...

Nicole:

(3x)+(4y)=81

Nicole:

(2x)-(4y)=-46

Nicole:

I think the answer is A. am I correct?

jhonyy9:

3x+4y=81 2x-4y=-46


5x 0 = 35 5x =35 x = 35/5 x=7 yes with choice A you are right sure

Nicole:

http://prntscr.com/mc9hzv

Nicole:

Am I right?

jhonyy9:

no - try the intersection point of these two lines

Nicole:

B?

jhonyy9:

sorry you are right with this marked choice

Nicole:

ohh okay http://prntscr.com/mc9khx

Nicole:

D?

Nicole:

@Vocaloid @SmokeyBrown @jhonyy9

jhonyy9:

i m not sure in D

Nicole:

hmm

jhonyy9:

in case of D give the x=-2 and see what you get in case of first equation is right but in case of second not is
