Answer:

(-1, 3)

Explanation:

We have two equations:

$2x+y=1\\3x-y=-6$

Adding the two linear equations:

(2x+3x)+(y-y)=1+(-6)

Simplifying

5x+0y=1-6

$5x=-5\\$

Clearing for
:

$x=(-5)/(5) \\x=-1$

Now we substitute this value of
in either of the two initial equations to find the value of
, Substituting in the first one:

$2x+y=1\\2(-1)+y=1\\-2+y=1\\y=1+2\\y=3$

the answer is
(-1, 3) because
x=-1 and
y=3
