Answer:
To find the solution to this system of equations, you can set the two equations equal to each other since they both equal y.
So, \(-2x - 1 = 12x + 4\)
Solve for \(x\):
\(-2x - 1 = 12x + 4\)
\(-2x - 12x = 4 + 1\)
\(-14x = 5\)
\(x = \frac{5}{-14}\)
Once you find \(x\), substitute it into one of the original equations to find \(y\).
