Answer:

x=o and y= -6

Explanation:

12-2x = - 2(y-x)

or,12-2x = -2y + 2x

or, 12 = - 2y + 4x

or, 12/2= 2x - y

or, 2x - y = 6

• 2x -6= y.....eqn_1

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

or,4x +2y= -12

or,4x + 2(2x-6)= -12

or, 4x+4x-12=-12

or, 8x= 0

• x= o

putting the value of x in eqn...3

o=(y-0)+6

or, o= y + 6

•y = -6
