The given system of equations is expressed as

- 4x - 6y = -48

y = - 2x

To solve by sustitution, we would substitute y = - 2x into the first equation. It becomes

- 4x - 6(- 2x) = -48

- 4x + 12x = - 48

8x = - 48

x = - 48/8

x = - 6

Substituting x = 6 into y = - 2x, it becomes

y = - 2*-6

y = 12

The solution is (- 6, 12)
