Answer:

x = -3; y = -6

Explanation:

3x - 2y = 3

y = 4x + 6

The second equation is already solved for y.

y = 4x + 6

Where you see y in the first equation, replace y with 4x + 6.

3x - 2y = 3

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

3x - 8x - 12 = 3

-5x = 15

x = -3

y = 4x + 6

y = 4(-3) + 6

y = -6

Answer: x = -3; y = -6
