Answer 1

To solve the system using substitution, we can start by rearranging the first equation to solve for x:

y = -4x - 1
4x = -y - 1
x = (-y - 1)/4

Now we can substitute this expression for x into the second equation:

2y + 2 = -12x
2y + 2 = -12((-y - 1)/4)
2y + 2 = -3(-y - 1)
2y + 2 = 3y + 3
2y - 3y = 3 - 2
-y = 1
y = -1

Now that we have the value of y, we can substitute it back into the first equation to solve for x:

y = -4x - 1
-1 = -4x - 1
0 = -4x
x = 0

Therefore, the solution to the given system is (0, -1).

Answer 2

the correct annswer

Answer 3

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's solve the system again using substitution.

We start with the first equation:
y = -4x - 1

We can substitute this expression for y into the second equation:
2y + 2 = -12x
2(-4x - 1) + 2 = -12x
-8x - 2 + 2 = -12x
-8x = -12x
4x = 0
x = 0

Now substitute the value of x into the first equation to solve for y:
y = -4(0) - 1
y = -1

Therefore, the solution to the given system is (0, -1).
