y=-21,x=-19

you can only solve this using simultaneouse solution. first, make x the subject in the second equation.2y-3x=15

In doing so x=-5+2/3y. You the multiply both equationby the co-efficient of x then you subtract the equations giving 1/3y=-7. hence y=-21.you then substitute the value for y into equation 1 where x=y+2 giving x=-19.

Answer:

x=-19, y=-21

Explanation:


\begin{bmatrix}x=y+2\\ 2y-3x=15\end{bmatrix}


\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=y+2


\begin{bmatrix}2y-3\left(y+2\right)=15\end{bmatrix}

Simplify


\begin{bmatrix}-y-6=15\end{bmatrix}

Isolate y for -y - 6 = 15: y = -21


\mathrm{For\:}x=y+2


\mathrm{Substitute\:}y=-21


x=-21+2

Simplify

x=-19


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


x=-19,\:y=-21
