y= -4x and 8x-y=6

what you do is switch the negative y to the other side and move the positive 6 to the other side thus making y=8x-6.

I don't get what those numbers are on the question but the way you solve it is by combining them and putting one y into the other

8x-6=-4x 12x=6 6/12=x .5=x

then you plug in x to find y in whichever equation:

-4x=y -4(.5)=y -2=y

so the final answer would be (.5,-2)
