Find the solution of the system of equations

4x-8y=44
2x+4y=-6

It is easiest to solve this system by elimination.

4x-8y=44

(2x+4y=-6) -2    > multiply the second equation by -2 to create equations where the x coefficients are opposites

     4x-8y=44

(+) -4x-8y=12

-16y=56

y = -7/2

now substitute the value of y into one of the above equations and solve for x

4x – 8(-7/2) = 44

4x + 28 = 44

4x = 16

X = 4

So, the solution is (4, -7/2)

The other guy that answered is wrong heres the right answer (7,-2) trust
