What is -4x-2y=-12+4x+8y=-24 by elimination

I think you have an extra plus sign.

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

Add the equations to eliminate x.

6y = -36

y = -6

Now multiply the first equation by 4 and add to the second equation.

-16x - 8y = -48
4x + 8y = -24
--------------------
-12x = -72

x = 6

Solution: x = 6 and y = -6

Since the 4x and -4x cancel out, this is what you get:
6y=-36

60,000 / 10 = 6,000 are school aged.

Each school holds 500, divide school aged by 500:

6,000 / 500 = 12

They would need 12 schools.

This is the term in a polynomial without a variable. Example: -6 in the expression 2x + 3y - 6

coldgirl [10]

It is called a constant.
Remember a "variable" means that the value of that term can change depending on the value of the "x" or "y". Since (in this case), -6 does not have a variable attached, it will not change, it will remain CONSTANT.
