Question

After adding the two equations to eliminate x you are left with 4y=-8

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} -2x+3y=-12 \\ 2x+y=4 \\ \text{adding} \\ 4y=-8 \\ \end{gathered}`

solve for y

`\begin{gathered} (4y)/(4)=-(8)/(4) \\ y=-2 \end{gathered}`

then, solve for x

`\begin{gathered} 2x-2=4 \\ 2x-2+2=4+2 \\ 2x=6 \\ (2x)/(2)=(6)/(2) \\ x=3 \end{gathered}`

x = 3

y = -2
