The solution to the system of equations:
X+3y =1
-2x - y = -2
We can start by solving the second equation for y:
-2x - y = -2
-y = 2x-2
y = -2x+2
Now we can substitute this expression for y into the first equation:
X+3y =1
X+3(-2x+2) =1
X-6x+6 =1
-5x+6 =1
-5x = -5
x = 1
Now we can substitute x = 1 back into either of the original equations to solve for y:
X+3y =1
1+3y =1
3y = 0
y = 0
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 1 and y = 0.
