Question 759599
-4x+12y=44....1
12x+4y=188....2
Multiply (1) by 3
-12x + 36y = 132 ...3
 12x + 4y  = 188 ...1
Add (3) + (1)
       40y = 320
         y = 8
Substitute y = 8 into Eq (1)
-4x + 12y = 44
-4x + 12(8) = 44
-4x + 96 = 44
      -4x = 44 - 96
      -4x = -52
        x = 13
x = 13 y = 8
Hope this helps.
