Question 197443: Hi!
I am having trouble putting the following equation into proper form. My assignment was to create two equations that would fit the intergers 4,9. I chose for my first equation: 2x+3y=35. The other equation and the one I am having trouble with is 52=4x-4y. I thought when I put the second equation into the form ax+by=c my answer would be 4x+4y=52. I am wrong. Can you please help me? Thank you in advance. Lynne

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If you are looking for a system of equations that has the solution (4,9), then the system


system%282x%2B3y=35%2C4x%2B4y=52%29


has the solution (4,9). So you are correct.


Note: this is NOT the only system that has this solution. Another system would be


system%28x%2By=13%2C3x-y=3%29
