Question

6y+12=-2x
x+3y=-6
In y form

Answer 1

both equations reduce to y = -1/3x -2

Explanation:

In each case, subtract the term not containing y and divide by the coefficient of y.

1. 6y = -2x -12 . . . . 12 was subtracted from both sides

y = -1/3x -2 . . . . . . the equation was divided by 6

__

2. 3y = -x -6 . . . . . . x was subtracted from both sides

y = -1/3x -2 . . . . . the equation was divided by 3
