Answer:

R = 4

s = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

r + 4s = -8

3r + 2s = 6

there are several ways to solve this system but i chose the elimination method and multiplied the second equation by -2 to get:

  -6r - 4s = -12 and added it to the first equation

+ 1r + 4s =  -8

 -5r = -20

   r = 4

plug in to find 's':  4 + 4s = -8

                              4s = -12

                               s = -3
