First, distribute the minus sign across the second set. So you have:
x - y + 1 - x - y + 1
Now, we combine like terms:
x-x=0
-y-y=-2y
1+1=2
So we have -2y+2
Hope that helps.
Multiply the first equation by -2 to eliminate a variable so it becomes:
-12x+8y=48
4x-8y=-32
Add them together.
-8x=16
x=-2
Plug it in one equation.
6(2)-4y=-24
12-4y=-24
-4y=-12
y=3
Ordered pair is: (-2,3)
