x=-6+4yx=6+4y
y=3/2+1/4xy=32+14x

Explanation:

Since there are two variables and since you did not specify which variable to solve for, here are the steps for solving for both xx and yy

For xx

We must subtract 8y8y from both sides and divide by -22 from both sides;

-2x + cancel(8y-8y)=12-8y

cancel(-2/-2)x=(12-8y)/-2

x=-6+4y

For y:

Similarly, we add 2x to both sides and divide by 8 from both sides:

cancel(-2x+2x)+8y=12+2x

cancel(8/8)y=(12+2x)/8

y=3/2+1/4x
