These equations are set up perfe try to use the elimination method. You can tell me one variable(y) has the same coefficient making it easy to eliminate. -4x + 3y = 12 -(-2x + 3y = 12) ___________ -2x = 0 Thus x = 0. You can now use this value to input into an original equation to solve for the second variable. -2(0) + 3y = 12 3y = 12 y = 4. Hope this helps! :)
