Answer:

  • x = -2
  • y = -1

Solution:

  • => -3x + 2y = 4

6x - 2y = -10

  • => 3x = -6
  • => x = -2

Now, let's substitute the value of x into an equation to find the value of y.

  • -3x + 2y = 4
  • => -3(-2) + 2y = 4
  • => 6 + 2y = 4
  • => 2y = 4 - 6
  • => 2y = -2
  • => y = -1

Let's check our answer using the second equation.

Check:

  • 6x - 2y = -10
  • => 6(-2) - 2(-1) = -10
  • => -12 + 2 = -10
  • => -10 = -10

Hence, this is proven correct.

Hoped this helped.
