We are given a system of two linear equations with two variables, $x$ and $y$. We need to find the values of $x$ and $y$ that satisfy both equations. The system of equations is: $4x + 3y = -12$ $-4x + y = 12$

1. Problem Description

We are given a system of two linear equations with two variables, xx and yy. We need to find the values of xx and yy that satisfy both equations.
The system of equations is:
4x+3y=124x + 3y = -12
4x+y=12-4x + y = 12

2. Solution Steps

We can solve this system of equations using the method of elimination. We can add the two equations to eliminate the xx variable.
Adding the equations:
(4x+3y)+(4x+y)=12+12(4x + 3y) + (-4x + y) = -12 + 12
4x4x+3y+y=04x - 4x + 3y + y = 0
4y=04y = 0
Dividing both sides by 4:
y=04y = \frac{0}{4}
y=0y = 0
Now that we have the value of yy, we can substitute it back into either of the original equations to solve for xx. Let's use the first equation:
4x+3y=124x + 3y = -12
4x+3(0)=124x + 3(0) = -12
4x+0=124x + 0 = -12
4x=124x = -12
Dividing both sides by 4:
x=124x = \frac{-12}{4}
x=3x = -3
Thus, the solution is x=3x = -3 and y=0y = 0.

3. Final Answer

x=3x = -3
y=0y = 0
The solution to the system of equations is (3,0)(-3, 0).
