how do i solve -4x-2y=-12 and 4x+8y=-24 using the elimination method?

Answer 1

-4x-2y = -12
4x+8y = -24

add the two equations and you have

6y = -36
y = -6

now use that to get x

Answer 2

wouldn't x=0?

Answer 3

<(-.-<) * HUG * / <('_'<) * HELP *

Answer 4

do what Steve said and then plug -6 into y
-4x-2(-6)=-12
4x+8(-6)=-24

-4x+12=-12 which equals 0
4x-48=-24 which equals 6
and those are your answers
