Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

A. x=3, y= -6

Explanation:

x - 2y = 15

2x + 4y= -18

Solving for x

x-2y=15

Subtract x from both sides

-2y= -x+15

Multiply both sides by -1

2y=x-15

Multiply both sides by 2

4y=2x-30

2x+4y= -18

Subtract 2x from both sides

4y= -2x-18

Combine equations:

-2x-18=2x-30

Add 2x to both sides

-18=4x-30

Add 30 to both sides

12=4x

4x=12

Divide both sides by 4

x=3

Solving for y

x-2y=15

Add 2y to both sides

x=2y+15

Multiply both sides by 2

2x=4y+30

2x + 4y= -18

Subtract 4y from both sides

2x= -4y-18

Combine equations:

-4y-18=4y+30

Add 4y to both sides

-18=8y+30

Subtract 30 from both sides

8y= -48

Divide both sides by 8

y= -6
