A student said we cannot subtract 1.97 from 20 because 1.97 has two decimal digits and 20 has none. Do you agree with his statem

So in this case, we have to replace the known value.
y=3
y=-2x+3
3=-2x+3
Then we leave our unknown value alone.
= x
In this case, our x value would be 0.
We check it...
3=-2(0)+3
3=0+3
3=3
So y=3 x=0
For the second one we have...
y=3x+2
y=-3x-4
For this we substitute the y in any of the equation...
3x+2=-3x-4
We move the unknown values to one side and the ones without unlown values to the other side...
3x+3x=-4-2
Then we solve
6x=-6
Then we leave the unknown value alone.
x=
Then solve for x.
x= -1
Then for our y value we return to one of the original equations and substitute the x value.
y=3x+2
y=3(-1)+2
y=-3+2
y=-1
y=-3x-4
y=-3(-1)-4
y=3-4
y=-1
So in this case we got that x= -1 and y= -1
y=3
y=-2x+3
3=-2x+3
Then we leave our unknown value alone.
