Answer:

(2,-3)

Explanation:

have to multiply (-3) to the second equation to get -3x + 15y = 51 then you add both equations .the 3 is remove (postive and negative cancels out )

2y+15y= 17y

0-51+-51

divide both sides by 17 y

-51/17= -3

then you plug -3 into the first equation and get

x= 2

y=-3
