Solve by the elimination method.
4x+3y=-12
9x-3y=-105
------------
12x+9y=-36
27x-9y=-315
39x=351
x=351/39
y=?
--------------
Solve by the elimination method.
4x-8y=5
4x-8y=6
Thank you!!!

Solve by the elimination method.
4x+3y=-12
9x-3y=-105
---
Add the two equations to get:
13x = -117
x = 9
Substitute into 4x+3y=-12 to solve for "y":
4*9 + 3y = -12
3y = -12-36
y = -16
------------
12x+9y=-36
27x-9y=-315
39x=351
x=351/39
y=9
Substitute into 12x+9y = -36 to solve for "x":
12x + 9*9 = -36
12x = -127/12
--------------
Solve by the elimination method.
4x-8y=5
4x-8y=6
---
Subtract to get:
0 = 1
This is a contradiction.
There is no solution.
