Answer:
(x, y) = (2, 2)
Explanation:
We can put the second equation into standard form by dividing by -2.
x -2y = -2
Adding this to the first equation eliminates x
(x -2y) +(-x -y) = (-2) +(-4)
-3y = -6
y = 2 . . . . . divide by -3
-x -(2) = -4 . . . . substitute for x in the first equation
2 = x . . . . . . . . add 4+x
The solution is (x, y) = (2, 2).
