What are we trying to find?

mathclass:

i dont know

Convert:

Then is there answers or more to the question to base my answer off of?

mathclass:

no

Convert:

Then in what form do you submit your answer?

mathclass:

what do you mean

Convert:

How do you type in or select your answer lol

mathclass:

you type it in

Convert:

But what's the question?

mathclass:

that's all the question

Convert:

But that just gives you 2 equations and a point there could be a lot of stuff in Algebra you could find with that information.

Convert:

What have you last learned about in that class which you think would pertain to this question? So I know how to help/explain the answer to you.

mathclass:

we haven't learned about any of this yet

Convert:

Then is this a pre-test or something?

mathclass:

no it is an assignment

Convert:

Then if you haven't learned it in that class yet how does your teacher expect you to complete it?

mathclass:

idk

Convert:

Is there a name to this assignment?

mathclass:

no it just says week 17 assignment

Convert:

Well it says question 2. What was question 1 about?

mathclass:

Convert:

This is basically the same thing as question 2 formula wise. How did you solve this problem if you weren't able to solve question 2?

mathclass:

I did not solve it

Convert:

Well I'm sorry but I can't help you with it if I don't know what the question is asking.

mathclass:

thank you anyway

Convert:

No problem, even though I really didn't do anything-

jhonyy9:

so my opinion that there is a system of equations what you need to solve it

jhonyy9:

x +y = 9 x + 1/3 y = 5 i think you can using substitution or elimination method what you prefer

mathclass:

so it would be x=9−y x=5−y/3

jhonyy9:

yes this true and correct for the first step but you need calcule the x value and the y value

mathclass:

y=9−x y=−3(x−5)

jhonyy9:

true but in this way not will solve nothing so above you ve got for x x = 9 - y x = 5 - y/3 yes ? so and now to solve this what can you do ? in one way there is x = 9 - y and in the second way there is x = 5 - y/3 so you can make x = x bc. this need be true - yes ? please write these two expressions of x equal and in this way you can calcule the y value

jhonyy9:

please continue ...

mathclass:

y=9−x y=15

jhonyy9:

no i ve said than you write x = x using these expressions you get 9 - y = 5 - y/3 from what you can calcule easy the y value

jhonyy9:

bc, there is a fraction with denominator what you need to do like a first step ?

jhonyy9:

multiplie both sides by 3 and so in this way what will get ?

mathclass:

27,15

jhonyy9:

3(9 - y ) = 3(5 -y/3)

jhonyy9:

distribute the parentheses

mathclass:

y=6

jhonyy9:

please post your work here for i can check it

jhonyy9:

ok correct

jhonyy9:

so you know that y = 6 and now you need calcule the x value

jhonyy9:

in the first equation than you substitute the y value in place of y what you get for x ?

jhonyy9:

there is x = 9 -y

jhonyy9:

so if you write in place of y the 6 what will get for x ?

jhonyy9:

are you there ?

mathclass:

so 6=y ?

jhonyy9:

yes this you know but now you need calcule the x value

jhonyy9:

x = 9 - y what you get for x than substitute in place of y the 6 ?

jhonyy9:

x = 9 - 6 x = ?

mathclass:

x=3

jhonyy9:

perfect

jhonyy9:

so x = 3 y = 6

jhonyy9:

that's ALL

mathclass:

thank you

jhonyy9:

anytime yw
