Write Equations: First, let's write down the system of equations: {−4x−2y=164x+3y=−18
Use Elimination Method: We can use the method of elimination to solve this system. Let's add the two equations together to eliminate x.(−4x−2y)+(4x+3y)=16−18
Solve for y: Now, let's do the math:−4x+4x−2y+3y=−20x+y=−2y=−2
Substitute y into Equation: We found the value of y, now let's substitute y=−2 into one of the original equations to find x. We'll use the first equation:−4x−2(−2)=16
Solve for x: Simplify the equation: −4x+4=16
Solve for x: Simplify the equation:−4x+4=16Now, let's solve for x:−4x=16−4−4x=12x=−412x=−3
