use one of the methods you already did, elimination or substitution
multiply second equation by 4. Solve then.
In other words, put in some effort by learning.
I would use substitution because it's pretty much given to you y=2x+6
Method choice is less important than mastering one and learning to use / apply it.

does y=-7?
yes
well what does x=?
13/-2 or -6.5
Once you know y, substitute that value into one of the equations and solve for x.
