12x - 8y = -12  

6x + 4y = -30

Multiply the 2nd equation by 2, to make the Y coefficients opposite:

6x + 4y = -30 x 2 = 12x + 8y = -60

Now add the two equations:

12x -8y = -12 + 12x +8y = -60

=  24x = -72

Divide bothe sides by 24 to solve for x:

x = -72/24

x = -3

Now replace x with -3 in the first equation to solve for y:

12(-3) - 8y = -12

-36 - 8y = -12

Add 36 to each side:

-8y = 24

Divide both sides by -8 to solve for y:

y = 24 / -8

y = -3

X = -3 and y = -3

(-3,-3)

X-5y=-15x−5y=−15x, minus, 5, y, equals, minus, 15 Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. (-5,(−5,left paren
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

<h2>The missing value is 2. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not properly written. Find the correct question below.

If x – 5y = -15 . Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation (-5, ____)

Let the coordinate of the variables be (x, y). Comparing the coordinates (x, y) with the given coordinate (-5, __), we will discover that x = -5. To get the y coordinate, we will substitute x = -5 into the given expression as shown;

If x – 5y = -15

-5 - 5y = -15

Adding 5 both sides

-5-5y+5 = -15+5

-5y = -10

Dividing both sides by -5;

-5y/-5 = -10/-5

y = 2

<u>Hence the missing value in the solution of the equation is 2</u>. The coordinate will be (-5, 2)
