Answer:

(-2, -4)

Explanation:

–2x + 2y = -4

3х + Зу = -18

Divide the first equation by 2

–2x/2 + 2y/2 = -4/2

-x +y = -2

Divide the second equation by 3

3х/3 + Зу/3 = -18/3

x + y = -6

Add these equation together

-x +y = -2

x + y = -6

-------------------

0x + 2y = -8

2y = -8

Divide each side by 2

2y/2 = -8/2

y = -4

Now we need x

x+y = -6

x-4 = -6

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = -6+4

x = -2
