Step-by-step explanation:

To correctly solve the system of equations, we must follow the following steps:

-We must use a method that allows us to match one of the variables.

-We must first find the value of the variable x and finally we must replace that value in the equations to find y.

The exercise is as follows:


\begin{gathered} y=-4x-2;\text{ y=2x+4} \\ \text{ y=y} \\ -4x-2=2x+4 \\ -4x-2x=\text{ 2+4} \\ -6x=6 \\ x=(6)/(-6) \\ x=-1 \end{gathered}

Now we must replace value of x in both equations:
