Question 2732: I am studing the substitution Method.. and for some reason i can not seem to figure out how to do it. My teacher has been trying to work with me, but yet when I look at the problem I go blank on what to do.
I have an equation y = 2x + 7
y = 10x - 1 I dont understand how to do this...

Question 2961: I am trying to solve a linear system by elimination but am coming up with a problem. At least I think it is a problem.
2x-5y=11
3x+y=8
I will multiply by (3) and (-2) to get 6x and -6x
(3)2x-5y=11
(-2)3x+y=8
6x-5y=11
-6x-y=8
subtract 5y+1y=6y
11 + 8 =19
6y=19
When I divide 19 by 6 I get 3.16. What did I do wrong????? Please help.
Thank you so much. Tricia

Question 3050: My paper says i should solve this equation by substitution: 2x + 3y = 13
y = 3 - 2x
could you show me how to sleve this step by step
My paper also says solve this equation by elimination: 3x - y = 4
7x + 2y =18
could you also solve that step by step

Question 4158: How do I solve an equation such as x+4y=8 or 3x-5y=16,to determine whether the given points, (0,2) and (2,2) are the solutions to the given equation? Also how would I determine the value of b so that the point given is a solution point of the equation, such as (3,0), 2x-y=b or (-5,6), 3x-2y=b?

Question 5428: In 7 years Deac will be twice as old as Irina. Four years ago he was three times as old as Irina was then. How old are each of them now?
I can not figure out how to set up the equations! The book says the answers are: Deac is 37 and Irina is 15. I do not come up with those ages. I have been using: x = Deac, y = Irina x + 7 = 2y and x - 4 = 3y. Help! What am I doing wrong? Thank you - Janette

Question 5779: I really don't understand this question:
The cost to rent a car is given by the formula C= 50d + 0.2k,
where d = the number of days rented
and
k= the number of km driven.
Lin has $300 to spend on car rental for her 4 day holiday. How far can she travel on this holiday?

Question 5893: Okay here is the question.
Take a look at the table below and write out an equation for f(x).
x -2 -1 0 1 2
f(x) -5 -2 1 4 7
Now. Here is what I thought might be right. Follow the y2-y1/x2-x1 and put in some numbers. So I put in 7-4/2-1 which = 3/1
So then the equation I got was y=(3/1)x+b
Is that the correct answer? I don't really know whether or not I found what was specified. Thank you for all your help.

Question 5887: Suppose you have a lemonade stand, and when you charge $1 per cup of lemonade you sell 60 cups. But when you raise your price to $2 you only sell 30 cups. Write an equation for the number of cups you sell as a function of the price you charge. Denote "C" for number of cups, and "P" for the price you charge. Assume the function is linear.
I know this may seem really easy, but I have been looking at it forever and I can't figure it out. I want to help my cousin with his homework but it's above my head. Thanks for all your help.

Question 6156: The whole third variable thing confuses me. When I try and do it by substitution I always end up with this long chain that I don't know how to reduce to find the answer for the second variable. Thanks in advance.
Solve for X, Y and Z
22X + 5Y + 7Z = 12
10X + 3Y + 2Z = 5
9X + 2Y + 12Z = 14
