Solve the system of equations. { 4x - y = -12 2x + y = -24 (6, 12) (6, -12) (-6, -12) (-6, 12)

Solve the system of equations.
{ 4x - y = -12
2x + y = -24
(6, 12)
(6, -12)
(-6, -12)
(-6, 12)

Answer

Solution:

  1. Equation 1: 4x - y = -12
  2. Equation 2: 2x + y = -24

Add Equation 1 and Equation 2:

  1. (4x - y) + (2x + y) = -12 + (-24)
  2. 6x = -36
  3. x = -6

Substitute x = -6 into Equation 2:

  1. 2(-6) + y = -24
  2. -12 + y = -24
  3. y = -24 + 12
  4. y = -12

The solution is (-6, -12).
