Answer:
y = -2 and x = 5
Explanation:
2x + 3y = 4
-2x - y = -8
Since this is a system of equations, we can either substitute or subtract. I will be subtracting.
2x + 3y - 2x - y = 4 - 8
2y = -4
y = -2
Now that we have y, we will plug it in for the first equation and solve.
2x + 3(-2) = 4
2x - 6 = 4
+ 6 + 6
2x = 10
x = 5
