2y + x = -6
y = -2x + 0

We can substitute the second equation into the first one.

2y + x = -6
2(-2x + 0) + x = -6
-4x + x = -6
-3x = -6

Divide -3 on both sides.

x = 2

Now, plug x = 2 into any equation and solve for y.

y = -2x + 0
y = -2(2) + 0
y = -4

The solution to the system of equations is (2,-4).
