we have the system

-3x-6y=45 --------> equation A

-5y=x -----> equation B

Solve by substitution method

substitute equation B in equation A

-3(-5y)-6y=45

solve for y

15y-6y=45

9y=45

y=5

Find out the value of x

equation B

x=-5y

substitute the value of y

x=-5(5)

x=-25

therefore

The solution is (-25,5)
