I swear I know how to do these problems but this specific one I've been stuck on. I tried like 5 different times already. What am I doing wrong?!😡

Can you show what you have tried so far

[storm vale]

can i tell him the quick route or na?

[coral pollen]

Sure, but there's a good chance she already knows the concept, seeing as she tried 5 times

Just dont give answer

[storm vale]

both function equal to Y

so just plug one into the others' Y

[loud stirrup]

i dont remember my answers but obviously ive set them both equal to each other

[coral pollen]

Ok, and what did you get

[loud stirrup]

hold on let me find all my answers

[coral pollen]

Do you remember how you got these answers

[loud stirrup]

lmaoo ive tried subtracting and dividing so many ways

[coral pollen]

Ok, lets just try to redo the problem

[loud stirrup]

well i dont have the work bc i erased it but i just subtracted and/or added like terms

[coral pollen]

Make sure to tell me each step you do, so i can see where youre messing up

[loud stirrup]

okay

i will write it down give me a sec

[limber pasture]

Don’t you just set them equal to each other?
4x + 7 = -6x - 4
Solve for x?
Then plug in for y

[loud stirrup]

yes!!! thats what ive been doing and i keep getting it wrong wtf

[coral pollen]

Ok what steps did you take to solve for x

[limber pasture]

Here be the steps:
4x + 7 = -6x -4
-7 -7
4x = -6x -4 - 7
4x = -6x -11
+6x +6x
4x + 6x = -11
10x = -11

here is one for example

As a helper, please do not give out answers that could be copied as a homework solution. Have the student work through the problem themselves and guide them along the way.

[limber pasture]

Oops

[loud stirrup]

no i literally am overcomplicating it.

[limber pasture]

You did -2x instead of -10x

Both are negative

[loud stirrup]

oh...
