do you know how to solve this system of equations using elimination -4x-2y=12 and 4x+8y=-24 the choices a.(5,3) b.(-6,-6) c.(3,1) d.(6,-6)

First simplify by dividing the first equation by 2 and the second eq'n by 4. The answer is (-2,-2) but it's not one of your choices. Test it. Sub x = -2 and y = -2 into your equations. It all checks out (unless you've typed the question incorrectly).
