Right
yes thank you!!!!!!!
You're welcome.
I put both systems of equations into the y=mx+b format.
subtract them as they sit
-y = 4
y = -4
back into the first:
x -3(-4) = 25
x + 12 = 25
x = 13
x = 13, y = -4 , you had them opposite.
-y = 4
y = -4
back into the first:
x -3(-4) = 25
x + 12 = 25
x = 13
x = 13, y = -4 , you had them opposite.
