Answer

x = 2 y = -3

Work Step by Step

4x + 2y = 2 first equation 3x - 2y = 12 second equation __________________ 7x = 14 add the equations to eleminate y x = 2 divide bpth sides by 7 let x = 2 in first equation $4\times2$ + 2y = 2 8 + 2y = 2 2y = 2 - 8 subtract 8 from both sides 2y = -6 y = -3 divide both sides by 2
