Answer: x= -3; y = 5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x – 2y = 8
-6x + 2y = -2
-2x = 6
x = 6
-2
x= -3
4x – 2y = 8
4 (-3) - 2y = 8
12-2y = 8
-2y = -12 + 8
y = -10
-2
y = 5
Answer:
x = -3, y = -10
or as an ordered pair (-3, -10).
Step-by-step explanation:
4x – 2y = 8
-6x + 2y = -2 Adding these will eliminate y:
-2x + 0 = 6
x = -3 Now substitute for x in the first equation:
4(-3) - 2y = 8
-2y = 8 + 12
y = 20/-2 = -10.
