Answer:

C and E

Explanation:

Substitute (- 6, 2) into the left side of each equation and if equal to the right side then that is a possible equation

A

2(- 6) - 3(2) = - 12 - 6 = - 18 ≠ - 6

B

4(- 6) - 2 = - 24 - 2 = - 26 ≠ 26

C

3(- 6) + 2(2) = - 18 + 4 = - 14 ← this is correct

D

- 6 - 2 = - 8 ≠ - 2

E

- 6 + 2 = - 4 ← This is correct

Thus the 2 possible equations are C and E
