9514 1404 393

  (x, y) = (-18, -30)

Step-by-step explanation:

When choosing to solve by substitution, it is convenient if one of the variables has a coefficient of 1 or -1. Here, y has a coefficient of 1 in the second equation, making it easy to rearrange that equation to give an expression for y:

  y = 2x +6 . . . . . add 2x to the second equation

Using this expression, we can substitute for y in the first equation:

  -3x +2(2x +6) = -6

  x + 12 = -6 . . . . . . . . . simplify

  x = -18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  y = 2(-18) +6 = -30 . . . . substitute into the equation for y

The solution is (x, y) = (-18, -30).
