2x+4y=-12 and -4x-2y=-12 what is the solution

The answer is that x = 6 and y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find these values, we can use elimination. To do so, we multiply the first equation by 2 and then add the equations together.

4x + 8y = -24

-4x - 2y = -12

6y = -36

y = -6

Now that we have this value, we can plug the value into one of the originals and find x.

2x + 4y = -12

2x + 4(-6) = -12

2x - 24 = -12

2x = 12

x = 6
