HELP

zunairah:

2y=6x-18 3y=2x+15

blakev1503:

is their any more info

zunairah:

i have to use either elimination, substitution 1 or substitution 2

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @blakev1503 @snowflake0531 \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) might be able to help

zunairah:

okay

snowflake0531:

Are you trying to solve for x and y?

zunairah:

yes

snowflake0531:

Mhmmm, the easiest method to solve these, would be graphing, but the substitution and elimination method are also necessary to know Do you know how to use either of them? substitution or elimination?

zunairah:

ya

zunairah:

i just struggle with substitution 2

zunairah:

at least i think this is substitution 2

snowflake0531:

I think that it would be easier to do elimination for this one. Substitution means you'll have to do fractions lol and what do you mean by 'substitution 2'

zunairah:

theres 2 different types of substitution

zunairah:

i will show you my paper

snowflake0531:

I suggest using elimination for this one

zunairah:

but y and x arent on the same side

snowflake0531:

You don't need them on the same side As long as the x's are together, y's are together, it's good

zunairah:

....

snowflake0531:

3y=2x+15 2y=6x-18 I suggest multiplying the top equation, 3y=2x+15, by 3 By this, we can get 2x to 6x, and cancel x out Can you do that?

zunairah:

yes i will try

snowflake0531:

Like, just multiply the whole equation by 3 3y(3) = (2x+15)3

zunairah:

i got 9y=6x+45 2y=6x-18

snowflake0531:

Yep, and so now, subtract the bottom equation from the top one

zunairah:

7y=x+27

snowflake0531:

Why do you still have x?

zunairah:

because 6-6 is 0

snowflake0531:

So, there's no x It would be 7y=63 what is y

zunairah:

how did you get 63

zunairah:

i think i did osmethin wrong

snowflake0531:

45-(-18)

zunairah:

oh ok

zunairah:

y=9

snowflake0531:

Yep and plug y into any of the 2 equations, just pick one, and then solve for x

zunairah:

I GOT 6

snowflake0531:

Yep

zunairah:

THANK YOUU 😢
