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)
