Let,
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x+12y=-8\text{ ..}.(1) \\ 41-2y=6\ldots(2) \end{gathered}[/tex]From the expression (2).
[tex]\begin{gathered} 41-2y=6 \\ -2y=6-41 \\ y=\frac{6-41}{-2} \\ y=\frac{-35}{-2} \\ y=-17.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Substitute y=-17.5 in the expression (1)
[tex]\begin{gathered} 4x-12y=-8 \\ 4x-12\times(-7.5)=-8 \\ 4x+90=-8 \\ 4x=-8-90 \\ x=\frac{-8-90}{4} \\ x=\frac{-98}{4} \\ x=-24.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Thus, the solutions are x=-24.5 and y=-17.5.
