Answer:
(x, y) = (0, -1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coefficients of x are opposites, so we can eliminate x by adding the two equations.
(6x +y) +(-6x -4y) = (-1) +(4)
-3y = 3 . . . . simplify
y = -1 . . . . . . divide by -3
Now, we need to find x.
6x -1 = -1 . . . substitute for y in the first equation
6x = 0 . . . . . add 1
x = 0 . . . . . . divide by 6
The solution is (x, y) = (0, -1).
