Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(1) 2x - 6y = -12
(2) x + 2y = 14
There is a -6y and a +2y. Since they have opposite signs, I'll try to eliminate the y terms. (That's my choice. There is more than one way to solve these.)
Multiply eq. (2) by 3:
3x + 6y = 42
Then add the result to eq. (1) to eliminate the y terms:
2x - 6y = -12
3x + 6y = 42
------------------
5x = 30, so x = 6
Now plug the value of x into eq. (2) and solve for y:
6 + 2y = 14
2y = 8
y = 4
Why did I use eq. (2) to solve for y? Because it's less work. I could have used eq. (1) instead:
2(6) - 6y = -12
12 - 6y = -12
-6y = -24
y = 4
More than one way to solve.
Step-by-step explanation:

It would appear your original equation is in Y=MX+b form, where M=2
two me plus you equals one <3
You can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that, shopping mall parking garage charges $2 for the first half hour and $1.20 for each additional half hour (even if it is under 30 minutes)
Therefore,
Cost for first half an hour = $ 2
Cost for each additional half an hour = $ 1.20
Let "x" be the number of each additional half hour
Therefore, total cost to pay is given as:
Total cost = Cost for first half an hour + (Cost for each additional half an hour)(number of each additional half hour)
Total cost = 2 + 1.20x
<em><u>Given you have $ 8 in cash</u></em>

Total hours parked = first half an hour + 5
Thus you can park in the garage for 5 hours 30 minutes
