Write the problem as a mathematical expression.

4a+6b=-2
2a+4b=-1

Solve for a in 4a+6b=-2.

a=-12-3b2

2a+4b=-1

Replace all occurrences of a with -12-3b2 in each equation.

-1+b=-1

a=-12-3b2

Move all terms not containing b to the right side of the equation.

b=0

a=-12-3b2

Replace all occurrences of b with 0 in each equation.

a=-12

b=0

List all of the solutions.

a=12,b=0
