Create a system of two linear equations where (3, 2) is the solution to the system.
VARVARA [1.3K]
3x - 2y = 5
-2x + 2y = -2
--------------------add
x = 3

3x - 2y = 5
3(3) - 2y = 5
9 - 2y = 5
-2y = 5 - 9
-2y = -4
y = -4/-2
y = 2

solution is (3,2)

ur system of equations is : 3x - 2y = 5 : -2x + 2y = -2

How do I solve the following equation for n? <br><br> n - 16 = m
Ipatiy [6.2K]
Simplifying
n + -16 = m

Reorder the terms:
-16 + n = m

Solving
-16 + n = m

Solving for variable 'n'.

Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '16' to each side of the equation.
-16 + 16 + n = 16 + m

Combine like terms: -16 + 16 = 0
0 + n = 16 + m
n = 16 + m

Simplifying
n = 16 + m
