Answer 8

where did you get the positive 12

Answer 9

nvm

Answer 10

oh

Answer 11

hi @vocaloid

Answer 12

Your solution *is* right for y, this problem just happens to have awkward fraction solutions

Answer 13

so the final sol is 102/23?

Answer 14

it seems wonky

Answer 15

y = 102/23 but you also gotta go back and solve for x

If you are ever in doubt you can always plug your x and y back into the original equations to see if they’re true

Answer 16

ohh ok 1 sec

Answer 17

wait was my x correct?

Answer 18

The equation x = -4 + (2/3)y is correct, just gotta plug in your y (it’ll be another ugly fraction unfortunately)

Answer 19

so x=-24/23?

Answer 20

bc x=-4+2/3(102/23)=-24/23

Answer 21

Yeah that’s what I got too

Answer 22

ok i plugged it in, it looks all good
