Equation 1: 4a + 6b = 10

*Subtract 6b on the right side of the equation
4a = 10 - 6b

*Divide 4 on the right side of the equation, leaving the variable all by itself
a = 10 - 6b / 4
a = (5 - 3b) / 2

Equation 2: 2a - 4b = 12

*Substitute (5 - 3b) / 2 for 'a' in the second equation
2(5 - 3b) / 2)) - 4b = 12

*Combine like terms
5 - 3b - 4b = 12
5 - (-7b) = 12

*Subtract 5 to both sides
5 - 5 - (-7b) = 12 - 5
-7b = 7

*Divide -7 to both sides
-7b / -7 = 7 / -7
b = -1

*Substitute -1 for 'b' 
2a - 4(-1) = 12
2a + 4 = 12

*Subtract 4 to both sides
2a + 4 - 4 = 12 - 4
2a = 8

*Divide 2 to both sides
2a / 2 = 8 / 2
a = 4

12a = ?

*Substitute 4 for 'a'
12(4) = 48

12a = 48

12a=x
4a+6b=10
2a+3b=5
2a-4b=12
a-2b=6
2a+3b+1=a-2b
a+5b+1=0
a=-1-5b

2(-1-5b)+3b=5
-2-10b+3b=5
-2-7b=5
-7b=7
7b=-7
b=-1

-1-5*-1=a
-1+5=a
4=a

4*12=48
12a=48

Hope this helps :)

Find the equation of a line that passes through (-2,4) and (1,-2)
Basile [38]

\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{4})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-2}) \\\\\\ \stackrel{slope}{m}\implies \cfrac{\stackrel{rise} {\stackrel{y_2}{-2}-\stackrel{y1}{4}}}{\underset{run} {\underset{x_2}{1}-\underset{x_1}{(-2)}}}\implies \cfrac{-6}{1+2}\implies \cfrac{-6}{3}\implies -2

\bf \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-\stackrel{y_1}{4}=\stackrel{m}{-2}[x-\stackrel{x_1}{(-2)}]\implies y-4=-2(x+2) \\\\\\ y-4=-2x-4\implies y = -2x
