I still don't get it
when i go back to the original and use X=4 to solve for y and then end up with Y=0
what am i supposed to do next
If you have found that when you substitute X=4 into the equation you are working with and you obtain Y=0, the next step would depend on what the original question or problem is asking for. Here are a few possibilities:
1. If you were solving a system of equations:
- You can substitute these values of X and Y (X=4, Y=0) back into the other equation(s) of the system to check if they satisfy the equations.
- If the other equation(s) are also satisfied, then (X=4, Y=0) is a valid solution to the system of equations.
- If the other equation(s) are not satisfied, then there might be an error in the calculations or the equations might be inconsistent.
2. If you were graphing an equation:
- The point (X=4, Y=0) represents a specific value on the graph of the equation.
- You can plot this point (4, 0) on a coordinate plane to see where it lies relative to the rest of the graph.
- This point might have some significance based on the context of the problem or what you are trying to analyze.
3. If you were trying to solve an equation for Y in terms of X:
- If substituting X=4 gives you Y=0, it means that when X is 4, the corresponding value of Y in the equation is 0.
- You can write the equation in the form Y = f(X) to express Y explicitly as a function of X.
- In this case, you can say that Y = 0 when X = 4.
It's crucial to have more context about the problem or equation to provide more specific guidance.
