3x+8y=4-------(2)
_____________

6x-12y=15------(3) (3)-(4)
6x+16y=8-------(4)
____________________
28y/28 = 7/28

y= .25

2x-4(.25)=5
2x-1+5
2x/2 + 6/2
x = 3

ya i was wrong when i did my check, both sides werent equal, and i cant figure out why i was wrong in my work.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Answered by bobpursley
you subtraced the equations wrong.

You should have gotten

6x-12y=15------(3) (3)-(4)
6x+16y=8-------(4)

-28y = 7

which leads to y=-1/4
