Can I solve this my method? I don't even know what linear combination is.

Well i'll leave you with this. I'd solve with elimination.

your two equations are

2x+3y=11
-4x+2y=2

i'd divide the 2nd one by 2 to get -2x+y=1

2x+3y=11
-2x+y=1

subtract and you get 2y=10

y=5

plug back to any equation 

2x+15=11

2x=-4

x=-2
