Always add them all around and then divide the two and you should get the correct answer
Answer:

<em>Hope this helps!!!</em>

I will go about solving this using the elimination method.
First, convert the equations.
10x + y = -20
4x + y = -12
Second, find the easiest variable to get rid of and get rid of it! (In this case, y) We will subtract to get rid of y.
6x = -8
Third, you want to solve the equation.
6x = -8 (divide by 6)
x =

Fourth, solve for y by inserting the answer for x into one of the equations.
10(

) + y = -20

+ y = -20 (subtract

)
y =

The solution for this system of equations is (

,

).
You put 3 shapes together I believe
First you are going to solve for f.
6f = -2
you must get f alone so you divide both sides of the equation by 6 which becomes ....
f = -3
now you add the absolute value sign to -3. absolute value is how far away your answer is from 0. -3 is 3 away from zero so f = 3
