3x+y=4

x+2y=-2

what is the answer

2 (3x+y=4)

1 (x+2y=-2)

6x+2y=8

(-) x+2y=-2

5x=10

5

x=2

x+2y=-1

2+2y=-1

-2 - 2

2y=-3

2

y=-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the first equation by 2 to make y equal to each other. subtract to eliminate y divide by 5 to get x take one of the equations replace x by 2 to solve for y
