Question

solve the system of equations X-Y = -12 and -8x-4y=-12 by combining the equations

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -3

y = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

you can add the equations after multiplying the first one by 8

8x - 8y = -96  added to -8x - 4y = -96

'x' eliminated;  -12y = -108;  y = 9

Solve for 'x':

x - 9 = -12

x = -12 + 9

x = -3
