Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

-x - 2y = 2

4x - 2y = -8

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

-x - 2y = 2

Step 3: Redefine Systems

x + 2y = -2

4x - 2y = -8

Step 4: Solve for x

Step 5: Solve for y

Greetings again.

The answer is (-2,0)

Explanation:

This one is different from other 2 previous questions. The last and previous 2 questions have positive y for another equation and negative y for another equation which makes them 0 (As y - y = 0)

But this one is different. y-terms both are negative for both equations. If we decide to add -2y and -2y then It'd make -4y which doesn't make 0.

And how are we gonna solve by elimination? That's simple. By multiplying one of the equation by -1.

We can do that, to eliminate y-term out. Choose one equation to multiply. I'll be multiplying -1 in the first equation.

Multiply -1 in whole equation.

Remind that negative multiply/distribute in negative equal positive always.

And x + 2y = -2 is your new equation from the first equation.

This is our new equations. Then we are able to eliminate y-term.

In case if you forget again, we can simply add/subtract vertically.

x+4x = 5x

2y-2y = 0

-2-8 = -10

That's how we get 5x=-10 and thus x = -2.

We already get x-value, and you know that we need to find the y-value too.

Therefore, substitute x = -2 in any given equations. Less coefficient value, the faster and better.

I'll substitute in -x-2y=2

Substitute x = -2 in the equation.

Thus, when x = -2, y = 0. Since you want the answer as ordered pair, then the answer is (-2,0)
