To solve the system of equations, we can use the method of substitution. First, let's solve the first equation for y:
-4x + y = 11
y = 4x + 11
Now, substitute this expression for y in the second equation:
-8x + 4(4x + 11) = 12
-8x + 16x + 44 = 12
8x = -32
x = -4
Now, substitute this value of x into the first equation to find y:
-4(-4) + y = 11
16 + y = 11
y = -5
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -4 and y = -5.
–4x + y = 11 –8x + 4y = 12
