(-3,0)

1) Let's solve that system, using this method. We need to pick one variable first.

-4x+5y=12

2x+5y=-6​

2) Let's eliminate x, multiplying the 2nd equation by 2

-4x+5y=12

4x+10y=-12 Adding both equations simultaneously

---------------------------​

15y =0

y= 0

3) Plug y=0 into one of those equations, usually the simplest.

2x+5y=-6​

2x+5(0)=-6​

2x = -6 Dividing both sides by 2

x= -3

Hence, the answer is (-3,0)
