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

Find the values of x,y,z. This diagram is not a scale.
Serjik [45]

Important:
                             The sum of the three angles inside
                              every triangle is always 180°.


First, look at the left triangle alone.
Two of its angles are 46° and 58° .  (46° + 58° ) = 104°
That leaves (180° - 104° ) = 76° degrees for the third angle.
The third angle in that triangle is 'x'. 
                                                         x = 76° .

At the point where 'x' and 'z' come together:
'x' and 'z' are a "linear pair".
Placed side-by-side, they form a straight line.
So (x + z) = 180° .
But  x = 76°.
So z = (180° - 76°).              z = 104° .

Now look at the the skinny triangle on the right alone.
The angle at the top is 13°, and  z = 104°. 
(13° + 104°) = 117° . 
That leaves (180° - 117°) = 63° for the third angle.
'y' is the third angle.
                                                 y = 63° .
