Question

- 3x + y = 3
2y = -3x - 12

Answer 1

x=-2, y=-3

Explanation:

we can rearrange the questions to make it easier

y=3x+3

2y=-3x-12

if you add the two equations, you get

3y=0x-9

so y=-9/3 = -3

plug y into one of the equations

-3=3x+3

-6=3x

x=-2

and then check your work by plugging into the other equation:

2*-3=-3(-2)-12

-6=6-12

-6=-6
