Answer 1

Hello, Nick!
Note how you already have one equation solved for x? x=-3y-13.
You see that x also appears in the second equation: 2x+2y=-6.
Write this as 2( x )+2y=-6
Now substitute -3y-13 for x into that equation. This will eliminate x. Solve the resulting equation for y. Please do that now. Please share your work and your results here.
