Answer:

(6, -9)

Explanation:

(Equation 1) 6x + 2y = 18

(Equation 2) -4x - 2y = -6

Rearrange Equation 1 to find (the equation for) y

6x + 2y = 18

-6x + 18 = 2y

-3x + 9 = y

Therefore y = -3x + 9

Substitute y into Equation 2

-4x - 2(-3x + 9) = -6

-4x + 6x - 18 = -6

2x - 18 = -6

2x = -6 + 18

2x = 12

x = 6

Substitute x into the equation for y

y = -3x + 9

y = -3(6) + 9

y = -18 + 9

y = -9
