Answer
x = -3
y = 2
Work Step by Step
1. Decide what variable you want to solve for. I decided to solve for the variable X
2. To cancel out the X variables, I am going to multiply the top equation by 2 since we want to make sure the X variables have the same constant out in front to cancel them out
3. Multiplying by 2 for the first equation should get you 6X - 4Y = -26
4. Now, since the X variables have opposite signs, we are gonna add the equations together to cancel out the X variable's
5. Adding the equations together, the X variables will cancel out, leaving us with Y = 2
6. Now plug in Y = 2 into either equation, I plugged it into the first equation.
7. Plugging Y = 2 into the first equation should result in 3X - 4 = -13, or X = -3
8. Plugging in Y = 2 into the second equation should get you the same result
9. That is how you get X = -3 and Y = 2
