Answer

(-1, 4)

Work Step by Step

Substitute the equation for y in terms of x into the second equation: 3x - 2(2x + 6) = -11 Solve for x: 3x - 4x - 12 = -11 -x - 12 = -11 -x = 1 x = -1 Let x = -1 in the first equation to solve for y: y = 2(-1) + 6 = 4 Check the solution (-1, 4) in the second equation: 3(-1) - 2(4) = -11 -3 - 8 = -11 -11 = -11; True
