Use the elimination method:

-4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -12
--------------------
 0  + 6y = -24

6y = -24
6y/6 = -24/6
y = -4

Plug in -4 for y in one of the equations
-4x - 2y = -12
-4x - 2(-4) = -12
-4x + 8 = -12
-4x + 8 (-8) = -12 (-8)
-4x = -20
-4x/-4 = -20/-4
x = 5

x = 5, y = -4

hope this helps

Elimination method is best because one equation has 4x and the other has -4x. Add the two equations together.

 -4x - 2y = -12
+4x + 8y = -24
----------------------
   0 + 6y = - 36

divide by 6 both sides 
y = -6 

use this to find x in either equation.
4x + 8(-6) = -24
4x  - 48 = -24
4x = -24 + 48
4x = 24
x = 6

FrozenT [24]

Johnny is selling tickets to a school play. On the first day of ticket sales he sold 14 senior (S) citizen tickets and 4 child (C) tickets for a total of $200. On the second day of ticket sales he sold 7 senior (S) citizen tickets and 1 child (C) ticket for a total of $92. What is the price of one child ticket?

14S + 4C = 200

14S = 200 - 4C

S = (200 - 4C)/14

7S + 1C = 92

7S = 92 - C

S = (92 - C)/7

(200 - 4C)/14 = (92 - C)/7

7 x (200 - 4C) = 14 x (92 - C)

1400 - 28C = 1288 - 14C

1400 - 1288 = 28C - 14C

112 = 14C

C = 112/14 = 8

the price of one child ticket = $8

an equation for a circle has formula

(x-m)² + (y-n)² = r²

where (m,n) is its center

and r is its radius

so, the equation has center (4,3) and radius 4

the equation is derived from the pythagorean theorem
