Answer:

how to solve 2x+2y=2 , -4x+4y=12

this is solving equations using substitution .... i have ALOT more but i juss dnt get this stuff

2x + 2y = 2 -4x + 4y = 12

x + y = 1

x = 1 - y

-4x + 4y = 12

-4(1 - y) + 4y = 12

(-4 + 4y) + 4y = 12

-4 + 8y = 12

8y = 16

y = 2

2x + 2y = 2

2x + 2(2) = 2

2x + 4 = 2

2x = -2

x = -1

Check.

-4x + 4y = 12

-4(-1) + 4(2) = 12

4 + 8 = 12

Answer: x = -1 and y = 2
