Algebra.Com's Answer #438949 by DrBeeee(684) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! You can't, you need two equations to solve for two unknowns. You only have one equation. You need to read the problem again to find another (independent) relationship between x and y. \n" ); document.write( " |
