Question

What are possible solutions to 2x+y=-12

Answer 1

Answer:

x =5

y=2

2*5+2=12

2*2+8

or

2*1+10

Answer 2

Answer:

x = 0 and y = -12

x = -6 and y = 0

x = 2 and y = -16

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert to the slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

2x + y = -12        subtract 2x from both sides

y = -2x - 12

1. Take any value of x.

2. Put it to the equation.

3. Calculate the value of y.

Examples:

for x = 0

y = -2(0) - 12 = 0 - 12 = -12

for x = -6

y = -2(-6) - 12 = 12 - 12 = 0

for x = 2

y = -2(2) - 12 = -4 - 12 = -16
