Answer:

(-3, -1)

Explanation:

Given the system of equation

y=1/3x-2

y=-3x – 12

Since both equations are y values, we will equate then=m to each other as shown;

1/3x - 2 = -3x - 12

x/3 + 3x = -12 + 2

(x+9x)/3 = -10

x+9x = -30

10x = -30

x = -30/10

x = -3

Substitute x = 3 into equation 1;

From 1: y=1/3x-2

y=1/3(3)-2

y = 1 - 2

y = -1

Hence the required solution (x, y) is (-3, -1)
