Answer
(-2, 4)
Work Step by Step
Insert the equation for y in terms of x in the second equation:
2x - 3(-2x) = -16
2x + 6x = -16
8x = -16
x = -2
Let x = -2 in the first equation to solve for y:
y = -2(-2) = 4
Check the solution (-2, 4) in the second equation:
2(-2) - 3(4) = -16
-4 - 12 = -16
-16 = -16; True
