Question

what does x equal?
-2x – 0y = -4
-6x – 2y = -12
x = 2 x = -2
x = -10 x = 4

Answer 1

can someone brake it down for me to unde
rstand

Answer 2

\[-2x-0y=-4\]If we are multiplying \(y\) by \(0\), the result is \(0\):\[-2x-0=-4\]\[-2x=-4\]\[\frac{-2x}{-2} = \frac{-4}{-2}\]\[x=2\]Agreed?

Answer 3

Solving for \(y\) when \(x =2\)
\[-6x-2y=-12\]\[-6(2)-2y=-12\]\[-12-2y=-12\]Add 12 to both sides\[-12+12-2y=-12+12\]\[-2y=0\]\[y=0\]

test our solution in both equations:
\[-2(2)-0(0) = -4\]\[-4-0=-4\]\[-4=-4\checkmark\]\[-6(2) -2(0)=-12\]\[-12-0=-12\]\[-12=-12\checkmark\]

You need to test in ALL of the equations to make sure you have a valid solution.
