OK mclovin....these are all the same...just different numbers
equation 2 says that y = 2+x Put that in equation 1 solve for x then use this value of x in one of the equations to find y
try it
1. Multiply second equation by 2
\(\frac{5}{3}\)x-2y=-2
-2x+2y=4
2. Use elimination to cancel the y's
-2x+\(\frac{5}{3}\)x=2
3. Now its your turn
Solve the equation for x, plug it back in one of the equations, then you get your answer.
(I want you to do it yourself so you learn)
You can plug your answer into both equations and check if they are true.
