Question

Solve the system you any method. State the final answer as an ordered pair. DO NOT include spaces or dollar signs in your answer.

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we notice that both of the equations are written with the y solved then we can equate the expressions of x and solve the resulting equation of x:

`\begin{gathered} x-12=-3x+12 \\ x+3x=12+12 \\ 4x=24 \\ x=(24)/(4) \\ x=6 \end{gathered}`

Once we have the value of x we plug it on the first equation to find y:

`\begin{gathered} y=6-12 \\ y=-6 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the solution of the system of equations is (6,-6)
