Answer:
Two numbers are additive inverses if they add to give a sum of zero. 3 and -3 are additive inverses since 3 + (-3) = 0. -3 is the additive inverse of 3.
Use x+2y=8
Subtract 2y to make
x=8-2y
Plug this in to the other equation
3(8-2y)+2y=6
Distribute the 3
24-6y+2y=6
Combine like terms
24-4y=6
Solve
18/4=y, 9/2=y
Plug and solve for x
X+2y=8
X+(2*9/2)=8
X+9=8
X=-1
