Answer: x = -3, y = 6

Explanation:

We will use substitution to solve this system of equations.

Given:

2x + y = 0

x + y = 3

Set one equation equal to a single variable:

2x + y = 0

y = 3 - x

Substitute and solve for the unknown:

2x + y = 0

2x + (3 - x) = 0

x + 3 = 0

x = -3

Substitute that value into the equation to solve for the other variable:

x + y = 3

(-3) + y = 3

y = 6
