10 x - 3 (-2 x - 2) = (6 x + 6) + 10 x = 16 x + 6:
{y = -2 x - 2
{16 x + 6 = -2
in the second equation, look to solve for x:
{y = -2 x - 2
{16 x + 6 = -2
subtract 6 from both sides:
{y = -2 x - 2
{16 x = -8
divide both sides by 16:
{y = -2 x - 2
{x = -1/2
substitute x = -1/2 into the first equation:
{y = -1
{x = -1/2
collect results in alphabetical order:
answer: {x = -1/2 , y = -1
