If you add the two together, you get 12x+4y=-4, which reduces to 3x+y=-1. Solving for y we get y=-3x-1. Substituting that value of y into the first equation we get which reduces to -1=-1. Because -1=-1 is a true statement, our answer is correct. The graph of the two equations should be the same line because the 2nd equation reudces to y=-3x-1 also. The graph is:
