Question

Which equation results from adding the equations in this system? Negative 6 x + 4 y = negative 8. 6 x minus 12 y = 14. Negative 16 y = 6 Negative 8 y = 6 Negative 8 y = negative 22 Negative 16 y = negative 22

Answer 1

Negative 8 y = 6

Explanation:

6x + 4y = - 8.... (1)

6x -12y = 14....... (2)

Adding (1) & (2)

- 6x + 4y = - 8

6x - 12y = 14

--------------------

0x -8y = 6

= - 8y = 6

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

-8y = 6

Explanation:

-6x+4y = -8

6x -12y = 14

Add the equations

-6x+4y = -8

6x -12y = 14

--------------------

0x -8y = 6
