2x-4y=-16
ax+4y=6 +
--------------------
2x+ax=-10; for x=-2,
2(-2)+a(-2)=-10
-2a=-10+4
a=-6/-2

Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
0.4(12 - 3x) = 0.3(12x - 16)
<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>
- Distribute: 4.8 - 1.2x = 3.6x - 4.8
- Add 1.2x on both sides: 4.8 = 4.8x - 4.8
- Add 4.8 on both sides: 9.6 = 4.8x
- Divide 4.8 on both sides: 2 = x
- Rewrite: x = 2
The answer is YES because of the triple negative and double negative
