Question

14
y = 2x
-8x - 2y = 24

Answer 1

x = -2

y = -4

Explanation:

y = 2x

-8x - 2y = 24

-8x -2(2x) = 24

-8x -4x = 24

-12x = 24

x = -2

Now put -2 in for x and solve for y

y = 2(-2)

y = -4

Let's check

-8(-2) - 2(-4) = 24

16 + 8 = 24

24 = 24

So, x = -2 and y = -4 is the correct answer.
