Answer 40

-3 and -2, and as we just covered in order to set them equal to each other we will need to multiply the entire top equation by -3 and the entire bottom equation by 2

Answer 41

-2 or just 2

Answer 42

If you multiply the top by a negative you get a positive 6 so you need to keep the negative on the bottom or else you will get positive 6 and 6+6=12 not 0
