Question

-6x-2y=8

7x-2y=-5

Answer 1

use the process of elimination

Multiply the first equation by +2

-(-6x-2y=8)

7x-2y=-5
_____________

6x +2y = -8
7x -2y = -5
______________ Add the remainders together

13x +0y = -13
13x = -13
x = -1

Answer 2

Now you take x=-1 and you plug it into either one of the two equations

7(-1) -2y = -5
-7 -2y = -5
-2y = -5 + 7
-2y = 2
y = 2/-2
y = -1

Answer 3

And there you go :)
