Answer

$(6,-1)$

Work Step by Step

To solve the given problem we will have to plug the simplest equation into the other equation and then solve for the other variable. $3(x+2)-2(y+4)=6(3) $ and $2(x+y)=5(x-y)-25$ Now, $y=-1$ or, $2(x+y)=5(x-y)-25$ or, $2x+2y=5x-5y-25$ or, $2x+2y-5x+5y-25$ or, $-3x+7y=-25$ or, $-3x+7(-1)=-25$ or, $x=6$ Hence, the desired result is $(6,-1)$
