To solve for \( x \) and \( y \) in the equation \( -2x + y = -4 \), we can express \( y \) in terms of \( x \):
\[ y = 2x - 4 \]
This equation specifies a relationship between \( x \) and \( y \). To find specific values for \( x \) and \( y \), we will need another equation, as we currently only have one equation with two unknowns.
If you have another equation in mind, please provide it, and I can help solve the system of equations for \( x \) and \( y \). If you want to find specific pairs of values, you can choose a value for \( x \) and calculate the corresponding \( y \). For example:
-
If \( x = 0 \): \[ y = 2(0) - 4 = -4 \] So, one solution is \( (0, -4) \).
-
If \( x = 2 \): \[ y = 2(2) - 4 = 0 \] Another solution is \( (2, 0) \).
-
If \( x = 3 \): \[ y = 2(3) - 4 = 2 \] Another solution is \( (3, 2) \).
Please let me know how you would like to proceed!
