A system of equations is a collection of two or more equations with the same variables. When solving this system, u need to find the unknown variables. One way of solving a system of equations is by substitution.

example :

2x + 2y = 6 (equation 1)
3x + y = 4 (equation 2)

we need to pick a variable and isolate it. The easiest one to pick since it is already by itself is the y in the second equation.
3x + y = 4subtract 3x from both sides
y = -3x + 4

now we can sub -3x + 4 in for y in the 1st equation...u have to make sure u sub it back into the 1st equation and not the same equation u used to find it.

2x + 2y = 6sub in -3x + 4 in for y and solve for x
2x + 2(-3x + 4) = 6...distribute thru the parenthesis
2x - 6x + 8 = 6...subtract 12 from both sides
2x - 6x = 6 - 8...simplify
-4x = -2...divide both sides by -4
x = -2/-4
x = 1/2

now that we have a numerical number for x, u can sub this back into either of ur equations to find a numerical answer for y.

y = -3x + 4...when x = 1/2
y = -3(1/2) + 4
y = -3/2 + 4
y = -3/2 + 8/2
y = 5/2

so ur solution is : (1/2,5/2) <===

and u can check ur answers by subbing them into ur equations to see if they satisfy both equations...because for it to be a solution to this system, it has to satisfy both equations and not just one of them

Answer from: Quest

a function could be identified in 3 ways either on a chart,graph, or ordered pairs. first a function is that each point has its own. the rule is that there can be many x's to one y but there can not be 2 x's at different y's. so on a graph when you put a straight line through the y's there should be one dot only to be a function.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
