Thread: Solve the system of equations below by graphing them with a pencil and paper.

Solve the system of equations below by graphing them with a pencil and paper. Choose the correct ordered pair (b, u).

u = -b + 21
u = -2b + 30

Graph the two lines. The answer is the point where they intersect.

i got it how about this 1 Solve the system of equations below by graphing them with a pencil and paper. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.

y = -x + 2
y = -2x + 6

Exactly the same way you did the first one.

Make sure you have a ruler, pencil, eraser and steady hands.

wat do i graph

Each of these




are straight lines, graph them both then following advice given in post #2.

cant do it

What have you tried?

wat am i suppose to graph the 6 and 2 or the x

I showed you how to do this in a previous thread.

I also showed you how to solve a system.

Go try to figure out what is going on there, and come back with any serious questions.

the other problem the numbers are the same so it diffrent

HINT: Multiply the first equation through by -2.

so is the answer 1,3

How did you get that?

y = -x + 2
y = -2x + 6

Following the hint we multiply the first equation through by -2 to get:

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

Now what do you want to do?

how did u get 4 in there
