Question

Solve the system of linear equations using any method.
-6y + 2 = -4x
y – 2 = x

Answer 1

x=-5 and y=-3

Explanation:

-6y+2=-4x convert this into standard form

y=x+2

plug in the slope intercept form in to y

-6(x+2)+4x=-2

-6x-12+4x=-2

-2x-12=-2 now solve for x

-2x-12+12=-2+12

-2x=+10

x=-5 now solve for y

y=-5+2

y=-3

so basically x=-5 and y=-3
