x=-3y+2 and x=2x-3

KeigoTakami:

have you tried to find the value of x or is that what you need help on?

BRESHAY2006:

i have to solve for x and y

jhonyy9:

the second equation is wrote wrong i think please correct it i think this second need contain an y too same with first

BRESHAY2006:

i put the right way

jhonyy9:

so the first equation is x= -3y +2 and second equation is x = 2x -3 ok how is ?

BRESHAY2006:

yeah thats how it is

mxddi3:

^ yeah, if those are written that way, they can not be solved if there is no y in the second one

jhonyy9:

really ? the second how is wrote correct ?

jhonyy9:

so in the second have not y term so than this not can be considered a system of equation

BRESHAY2006:

that's how my teacher put it on the worksheet

mxddi3:

hmm, try asking your teacher because that is not a system of equations. It can't be solved like that

jhonyy9:

so in this case calcule the x value from second and substitute in place of x in the first and in this way calcule the value of y

mxddi3:

@jhonyy9 how do we calculate the x value in the second ?

jhonyy9:

@BRESHAY2006 do you understand my words ?

BRESHAY2006:

yes,i asked my teacher

jhonyy9:

so and this is wrote correct ?

BRESHAY2006:

yeah

jhonyy9:

so than this is correct than calcule the x value from second

mxddi3:

@BRESHAY2006 wait im confused, could you explain this to me, like, with what your teacher said?

jhonyy9:

how you separate the x term in second equation to calcule the value of x ?

jhonyy9:

how you eliminate the x term from left part ?

jhonyy9:

subtract from both sides an x yes ?

jhonyy9:

what will get in this way ?

BRESHAY2006:

the answer was x=3 and y =-1/3
