Solve by substitution:5x + y = 22 (1)2x + y = 10 (2)
First let us label the equations 1 and 2. In order to solve this set of equations we need to rearrange one of the equations so that we have...

Determine whether the line with equation 2x+ 3y + 4 = 0 is parallel to the line through the points with coordinates (9, 4) and (3, 8).

Parallel means that the lines have the same gradient/slope. For example, the lines in an equal sign are parallel.Consider the standard equation of a line is: y = mx + c

Solve the following simulateous equations: 3x+y=11 and 2x+y=8

Minus 2x+y=8 from 3x+y=11 so that the y's cancel out (y-y=0).
Then we get the equation 3x-2x=11-8.So we get x=3.We can substitute this value back into one the orginal equations: y=11-3(3)=2 - so y=2....
