Question

X+3y=-5

Answer 1

Answer:

Tyler's - (-5 - 3y) + (3y) = -5

Han's - (x) + (-5 - x) = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are going to use Tyler's first step then we would use x = - 5 - 3y and substitute it in the original simultaneous equation x + 3y = -5, becoming (-5 - 3y) + (3y) = - 5 giving an exact answer of - 5.

But if we are using Han's first step then we will still substitute into the original simultaneous equation but in 3y. It would become

x + (-5 - x) = - 5 which also gives us an exact answer of -5.

Thus proving that both first steps show the same solution of -5.
