To find out if you are right or not, put your answer (x =-2, y=-1) back in each equation
equation 1
3(-2) + 2(-1) = ??? -8
-6 - 2 = -8 sure enough
equation 2
2(-2) - 3(-1) = ??? -1
-4 + 3 = -1 sure enough so you did it right
can you please break this equation down for me.I saw how you got 0,0 but im confusing my self on the rest of the problems such as 3x+2y=-8
2x-3y=-1
heres my answer (-2,-1) am i correct?
2 answers
Now the how :
equation 1
when x = 0, y = -8/2 so y intercept at (0,-4)
when y = 0, x = -8/3 so x intercept at (-8/3,0)
draw that line
equation 2
when x = 0, y = 1/3 so (0,1/3)
when y = 0, x = -1/2 so (-1/2, 0)
graph
see if they hit each other at (-2,-1)
