Divide the first equation by 2 and add the result to the second equation. This will eliminate x.
... (-4x -2y)/2 + (2x +4y) = (-12)/2 +(-12)
... 3y = -18 . . . . . collect terms
... y = -6 . . . . . . . divide by 3
Substitute this into either equation to find x. Let's use the second equation, where the coefficient of x is positive.
... 2x +4(-6) = -12
... 2x = 12 . . . . . . . . add 24
... x = 6 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2
The solution is (x, y) = (6, -6).

Find the perimeter of the triangle and your answer is yellow
Answer:
3/2 or 1.5 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation
To divide, you must switch the -1/4 to its reciprocal which is -4/1 and then multiply the fractions (-3/8 * -4/1) and since negative - negative = positive. It's a positive.
Using algebra...
n and n+2 are the integers
n*(n+2)=288
n^2+2n=288
n^2+2n-288=0
288=2*2*2*2*2*3*3=(2*2*2*2)*(2*3*3)=16*18 and 18-16=2
factor
(n+18)(n-16)=0
n+18=0
n=-18
n+2=-16
this is one solution
n-16=0
n=16
n+2=18
this is another solution
as you can see, it's just a matter of factoring
288
using arithmetic...
√288=16.97≈17
16 and 18 are the integers (as well as -16 and -18)
