Multiply the second equation by 3, so 4x-y=6 becomes 12x-3y=18.

x + 3y = -5
+ (12x-3y = 18)
______________
13x = 13

So x = 1

Plug x = 1 into any of these, such as 1 + 3y = -5, which becomes 3y = -6, and then y = -2.
x = 1
y = -2

How can u solve for x when there is a y in the like y=4x+8x

gregori [183]

Answer:

x = $\frac{1}{12}$ y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 4x + 8x, that is

y = 12x ( divide both sides by 12 )

$\frac{y}{12}$ = x, or

x = $\frac{1}{12}$ y
