Answer:

x=3.4 y=-5.8 (the steps are in order and I explained to the best of my ability)

Explanation:

x+3y=-14 substitute the x for -14-3y in the second problem

x=-14-3y 2(-14-3y)-4y=30

-28-6y-4y=30

-10y=58

y=-5.8

substitute the y in the first equation for -5.8

x+3(-5.8)=-14

x-17.4=-14

x=3.4
