So y+x=2
x-y=4
one way is subsituteion where yousubisutte one of the number for another exg
x-y=4
add y to both sides
x=y+4
subsitute y+4 for x in x+y=2
y+4+y=2
2y+4=2
subtract 4 from both sides
2y=-2
divide both sides by 2
y=-1
subsiutte
x+y=2
x-1=2
x=3
or elimination
x+y=2
x-y=4
add the two equations and cancel the y terms
x+x+y-y=2+4
2x=6
divide both sides by 2
x==3
subsitute
x+y=2
3+y=2
y=-1
so x=3
y=-1
Collinear Points: points that lie on the same line. Coplanar Points: points that lie in the same plane. Opposite Rays: 2 rays that lie on the same line, with a common endpoint and no other points in common.

First, distribute 3 into the parenthesis(multiply it to every term inside):

Add 21 to both sides:

Subtract 15m to both sides:

Divide -11 to both sides:

To check our work we can plug this back into the original equation for 'm':


Multiply:

Distribute 3 into the parenthesis:

Subtract:

Both sides are equal to each other, so we solved it correctly.
