Question 729479: I need to solve the systems of equations 2x+4y=-2, 2x-y=4
I got the answer 7/5 and I was trying to put the answer in but I got 2(14/10) I don't know how they came up with the answer (7/5,-6/5) How did they get -6/5 for the y?

solve the systems of equations 2x+4y=-2, 2x-y=4
------------------
2x+4y=-2
2x -y= 4
------------ Subtract
5y = -6
y = -6/5
-------------
2x -y= 4
2x + 6/5 = 4
2x = 14/5
x = 7/5
