Answer:
x=-16
y=-11
Explanation:
2x-4y=12
x-3y=17
first multiply all the numbers of the bottom equation by -2
2x-4y=12
-2x+6y=-34
then cancel the x's, and add the other numbers
2y=-22
solve for y
y=-11
plug y into either the original top or bottom equations
2x-4(-11)=12
2x+44=12
2x=-32
x=-16
or
x-3(-11)=17
x+33=17
x=-16
