0 = -2 + -1x

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add 'x' to each side of the equation.
0 + x = -2 + -1x + x
Remove the zero:
x = -2 + -1x + x

Combine like terms: -1x + x = 0
x = -2 + 0
x = -2

Simplifying
x = -2

17. y = (1/2)x - 3
y = (3/2)x – 1


#17- y=2x-4
        -4   -4

y-4=2x
-4  -4

y=-2




18. x + y = 2
4y = -4x + 8


#18-
4y=-4x+8
-4x+8=4y
4x+4y=8
0+12y=12y

ok so the 2xand the x is ganna give me 3x
and the y is ganna give me 2y
so
3x+2y=3

or is it like this

y-2x=0
x+y=3

2x+2y=6
y-2x=0
2y=6
y=3

thanx alot bobbbym i really am having trouble with math these days hey i was wondering did i do  number 14 correct ??

#1064 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-29 03:56:27

what about #14

like did i do it correct
3 + -1x = 2x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-2x' to each side of the equation.
3 + -1x + -2x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: -1x + -2x = -3x
3 + -3x = 2x + -2x

Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0
3 + -3x = 0

Add '-3' to each side of the equation.
3 + -3 + -3x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 3 + -3 = 0
0 + -3x = 0 + -3
-3x = 0 + -3

Combine like terms: 0 + -3 = -3
-3x = -3

Divide each side by '-3'.
x = 1

Simplifying
x = 1

ok so i tried to do it again

x=3-3y
x+3y=-6

3-3y=x
x+3y=-6

3x=-5x

x=-5/3

#1067 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 10:14:09

ammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i give up lol joking ill try to do it again

#1068 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 09:42:48

ok so i tried again i hope i did this right

3-3y=x
x+3y=-6

3x+9y=-18
3-3y=x
x+6y=-19x

6y=-19

y=-19/6

#1071 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 07:50:10

hey:)

so i did numbers 15-18 i tried to do them this is what i got

15#-
x=3-3y
x+3y=-6

x=3-3y
-3   -3

3-x=3y
x+3y=-6

3-x=3y
x+3y=-6
4x-3y+x=9y
3x-3y=9y



3x=6

x=2

#16- y=-2x+1
y=x-5
y=3x+6
y=3x+6
x=2

y-6=3x

y-6=3x

y=-3x
x=2


#17- y=1/2x-3
y=3/2x-1

3/2x-1-1/2x-3=y

1x--4=y


#18-

x+y=2
4y=-4x+8

-4x+8=4y
x+y=2
-3x+8y=6y

-3x=-2y

#1072 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 03:17:49

ok so like i totaly drag i know but  i tried like when i started this is what i did
y=2x
x+y=3


y=2x
x+y=3

y=3-x
y=2x
3-x+2x=y

#1073 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 02:21:36

Add '-2y' to each side of the equation.
x + 2y + -2y = -4 + -2y

Combine like terms: 2y + -2y = 0
x + 0 = -4 + -2y
x = -4 + -2y

Simplifying
x = -4 + -2y

#1075 Re: Help Me ! » Solving systems of equations using Substitution method and elimination » 2011-06-28 01:41:39

thanx alot its just the elimination method is sooo much harder then the substitution hmm 
i tried to do this one
in the elimination
x + 2y = -4
4y = 3x + 12


3x+12=4y
x+2y=-4

4x+14y=0

4x=-14y
x=-3.5y
