Answer:
x=4 and y=−4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's solve your system by elimination.
−x−2y=4;3x+2y=4
−x−2y=4
3x+2y=4
Add these equations to eliminate y:
2x=8
Then solve 2x=8 for x:
2x=8
2x
2
=
8
2
(Divide both sides by 2)
x=4
Now that we've found x let's plug it back in to solve for y.
Write down an original equation:
−x−2y=4
Substitute 4 for x in−x−2y=4:
−4−2y=4
−2y−4=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−2y−4+4=4+4(Add 4 to both sides)
−2y=8
−2y
−2
=
8
−2
(Divide both sides by -2)
y=−4
