Because you know the equation for what x is, you can substitute (2y+12) for x. Your new equation would look like this;

2(2y+12)+3y=-11

Distribute the 2 into 2y+12

4y+24+3y=-11

Add 4y and 3y

7y+24=-11

Subtract 24 from both sides

7y=-35

y=-5


Now, substitute -5 in for y in the 2nd equation.

x= 2(-5)+12
x=-10+12
x=2


x=-5
y=2

Hope this helped! You can reach out to me if you have any more questions!
