Question

Solve the system of equations:
3x + y = -8
-2x - y = 6

Answer 1

You could just add the two equations:

3x + y = -8
+ -2x - y = 6
-----------------
x = -2

Then plug x into either of the original equations to find y. For example:

3(-2) + y = -8
-6 + y = -8
y = -2

Therefore the solution is (-2,-2).
