Algebra.Com's Answer #6563 by elima(1433)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! -2x+3y=-14 \n" ); document.write( " 2x+2y=4 solve for x and y \n" ); document.write( "First you want o get an answer for one of the variables, so you solve one equation, \n" ); document.write( "2x+2y=4 \n" ); document.write( "2x=4-2y \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Now we have an answer for x(we aren't done yet, that is not the final answer for x.) So lets plug that in the equation for the x. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "-4+2y+3y=-14 \n" ); document.write( "5y=-10 \n" ); document.write( "y=-2 \n" ); document.write( "Now you have the answer for y, lets now go back to the equation and find out what x= \n" ); document.write( "2x+2(-2)=4 \n" ); document.write( "2x-4=4 \n" ); document.write( "2x=8 \n" ); document.write( "x=4\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check: \n" ); document.write( "2(4)+2(-2)=4 \n" ); document.write( "8-4=4 \n" ); document.write( "4=4 \n" ); document.write( "Hope you understand \n" ); document.write( "=) \n" ); document.write( " |
