Answer:

(- 3, 1 )

Explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x - 2y = - 8 → (1)

x + 2y = - 1 → (2)

Adding the 2 equations will eliminate the y- term, that is

3x = - 9 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = - 3

Substitute x = - 3 into either of the 2 equations and evaluate for y

Substituting into (2)

- 3 + 2y = - 1 ( add 3 to both sides )

2y = 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 1

Solution is (- 3, 1 )
