Answer: (-4,2)

Explanation:

To solve the system using the elimination method, you first need to adjust the equations a bit so that you can add or subtract to eliminate either x or y.

Eliminating x seems more convenient in this situation, so let's try.

We can multiply 3 to the second equation so that we end up with this:

3x+5y=-2

-3x+6y=24

Now, all we need to do is add up the two equations to get:

11y=22

y=2

Since we now know the value of y, let's plug it in to get x.

3x+10=-2

3x=-12

x=-4

Therefore, the answer is x=-4, y=2 or(-4,2)
