Solve each system by elimination.

oh my bad sorry I am used to all of the answers on the bottom Lol.

-4x -  2y  =  -12

 4x + 8y  =  -24

If you add down the individual columns, all the x-terms will disappear:

         6y  =  -36

Now, divide by 6 --->   y  =  -6

Replace this back into either of the two original equations; if you use the second equation:

  4x + 8y  =  -24   --->   4x + 8(-6)  =  -24   --->   4x - 48  =  -24

                              add 48 to both sides:                    4x  =  24

                              divide by 4:                                   x  =  6

geno ty for the answer, but i need one for the Y as well. not just x.

Check the 5th line from the top ...
