I'm more visual, but if you're not, and this confuses you, ask me, and I'll explain it.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
you divide the two to the y, which is x=3/2y
then, you simplify the second equation to y, which is -3y= -4x+12
then, you substitute the x=3/2y into the second equation,
-3y = -6+12
-3y = 6
y = -2
Substitute the y into the first equation, x= 3/2y,
x = -3
So basically when you are adding or subtracting fractions the denominators the number on the bottom of the fraction 12 in this case and 8 as well the two denominators sharing the least common multiple so what is the lowest multiple of 12 and 8 so count off 12: 12, 24, 36... 8: 8, 16 , 24 does that help?
