y=-x+4
x=y-10
You can substitute in
either equation
y = -(y 10) + 4
y = -y + 10 + 4
2y = 14
y=7
or
x = -x + 4- 10
2x = -6
x = -3

No solutions, 4 does not equal 3

One solution, only works if t = 3
One solution, only works if m = 0
Infinite solutions, they are the same line

4-93
No solution because B and C are the same line, thus the infinite solutions and if
A has no solution with B, A does not have a solution with C

Illegal because you cant cross over the equals sign

Legal because you are removing the xs from both sides
Legal because you are adding to both sides
Illegal because the x cannot cancel out the one and it is not done to both
sides

r = 4t + 8
2t + 5r = 414
2t + 5(4t + 8) = 414

y = x2 + 5
y = x2 + 2x + 1
