Answer :

Answer:

(-12,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = -16

2y - x = 16

Multiply the bottom part by 2.

2x + 4y = -16

4y - 2x = 32

Add the equations and the answers to the equations up, and they will equal each other.

(2x + 4y) + (4y - 2x) = -16 + 32

8y = 16

y = 2

Plug y = 2 to the 2nd equation.

2*2 - x = 16

4 - x = 16

Subtract 4 from both sides.

-x = 12

Multiply both sides by -1.

x = -12
