Answer: (-2,3)

Explanation:

-3x + 4y = 18

6x + 2y= -6 we have to eliminate one of the variables so you will have ot

2(-3x + 4y) = 18(2) multiply the first equation by 2.

-6x + 8y = 36

6x + 2y = -6 now we could eliminate the x terms by adding them and

0 + 10y= 30 remember that is a new equation.

y= 3

Now we know that the y solution is 3 so we will put it into one of the equations and solve for x.

-6x + 8(3)=36

-6x + 24

-24 -24

-6x = 12

x= -2
