Question

what is the solution for the system of equations? x=-2y-2 and 4x+2y=16

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 6, y = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x=-2y-2

4x+2y=16 .... divide by 2 both sides

2x + y = 8  ... subtitute x

2 ( -2y - 2) + y = 8

-4y - 4 + y = 8

- 3y = 8 + 4 = 12

y = -4

x = (-2 * -4) - 2 = 6
