Answer:

x = -11/2 , y = -1/6

Explanation:

Given:


\begin{bmatrix}-x-3y=6\\ 2x+3=-8\end{bmatrix}

Solve:


\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=-(11)/(2)


\begin{bmatrix}-\left(-(11)/(2)\right)-3y=6\end{bmatrix}


Simplify


\begin{bmatrix}(11)/(2)-3y=6\end{bmatrix}


\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:}


x=-(11)/(2),\:y=-(1)/(6)

Hence, x = -11/2 , y = 1/6
