ur supposed to add straight down, but then i think u have to multiply one equation by the other to get y to cancel out, and then i get up to that step, and then just get really confused, i really do appreciate any help...THANX

x+4=-2
x-y=2

Are you sure you copied the first equation correctly? There is no y term in it. It already tells you that x = -6
