\begin{gathered} \text{The equation is,} \\ x-y=-2\ldots\text{.}(1) \\ y=-2x-3\ldots(2) \\ \text{substitute the value of y in the equation (1).} \\ x-(-2x-3)=-2 \\ x+2x+3=-2 \\ 3x=-5 \\ x=-(5)/(3) \\ \text{Now, put the value of x in equation (2).} \\ y=-2*(-(5)/(3))-3 \\ y=(10)/(3)-3 \\ y=(1)/(3) \\ So,\text{ the solution is (-5/3, 1/3)} \end{gathered}
