I would solve the first equation for x and then sub that value into x in the second equation. That's the easiest way. x - 2y = 3 solved for x is x = 2y+3. Now sub that in for x in the second equation: 5(2y+3)+3y=2 and 10y + 15 + 3y = 2. 13y = -13, and y = -1. Now sub that y value into either equation to solve for x: x = 2(-1) + 3 gives us an x value of x = 1. Therefore, your solution to this system is (1, -1), first choice above.
(x,y) so you start at the orgin and go down two because it's negative. then you go right six and plot your point.
negative number - down or left
positive number - up or right
Hello.
17. ( 3 + 5 ) · 8 = 64
18. 4 · ( 6 - 2 ) + 7 = 23
19. 10 ÷ ( 3 + 2 ) · 4 = 8
20. ( 3 + 6 ) · 2 = 18
