Answer:
x = -3 and y = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
It would be more direct to apply elimination in this problem, rather than substitution:
2x + 6y = -6 ⇒ 2x + 6y = -6 ⇒ 10x = - 30
+ 2(4x - 3y = -12) + 8x - 6y = -24
Now let us solve for x through simply algebra:
10x = -30,
x = -3
Substitute this value of x into the first equation to get the value of y:
2( -3 ) + 6y = -6,
-6 + 6y = -6,
6y = 0,
y = 0
