Solve by elimination. Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second by 4:
27x + 12y = -216
8x - 12y = -64
Add them: 35x = -280, so x = -8. Substitute into 9x + 4y = -72:
9(-8) + 4y = -72 → -72 + 4y = -72 → 4y = 0 → y = 0.
Solution: x = -8, y = 0.
27x + 12y = -216
8x - 12y = -64
Add them: 35x = -280, so x = -8. Substitute into 9x + 4y = -72:
9(-8) + 4y = -72 → -72 + 4y = -72 → 4y = 0 → y = 0.
Solution: x = -8, y = 0.
