Hello!

Since we already see an equation that equals y (-2x-4), we can plug that equation into the first to solve for x.

x+4(-2x-4)=19
x-8x-16=19
-7x=35
x=-5

Now that we know the value of x, we will plug it into the second equation to solve for y.

y=-2(-5)-4
y=10=4
y=6

This gives us the answer below


\left \{ {{x=-5} \atop {y=6}} \right.

The correct answer is A) (-5,6)

I hope this helps!
