Answer:

One Solution

Explanation:

First substitute the y in the first equation with the second equation to get

-2x-4=3x+3

since theres a variable of both sides, you subtract the variable with the least coefficient, in this case, you add 2x to both sides to get

-4=5x+3

subtract the constant on both sides to get

-1=5x

divide both sides by 5

x= -0.2 or -1/5
