Question

Solve the systems of equations y=2x and y=-x - 6

Answer 1

y = -4

x = -2

Explanation:

Hi there...

y = 2x

y = -x - 6

Since why is equal to 2x, we can plug it in for y in the second equation. Here's what I mean...

2x = -x - 6

add x on both sides...

3x = -6

divide by 3 on both sides...

x = -2

Now, plug in x for y. Here's what I mean...

y = 2x

y = 2 (-2)

y = -4

Hope this helps :)
