Answer:

x is 2 and y is -6

Explanation:

3x-y=12

x+y=-4

Adding both equations to eliminate y

4x=8

x=2

Substituting

2+y=-4

y=-6

x is 2 and y is -6

Proving that this answer is correct:

Substituting x is 2 and y is -6

3*2-(-6)=12 6+6=12 12=12 True

2-6=-4 -4=-4 True

Therefore, x is 2 and y is -6
