What is the sum of this equation -5x plus y equals -12 -3x plus 6y equals -12?
-5x + y = -12- 3x + 6y = -12Since both of expressions have a value of -12, their sum is - 24. This is true only whenx = 20/9 and y = -8/9.-5x + y = -12y = 5x - 12- 3x + 6y = -12-3x + 6(5x - 12) = -12-3x + 30x - 72 = -1227x = 60x = 60/27x = 20/9y = 5x - 12y = 5(20/9) - 12y = 100/9 - 12y = (100 - 108)/9y = -8/9
