Answer:
(4, 6 )
Step-by-step explanation:
x - 3y = - 14 ( add 3y to both sides )
x = - 14 + 3y → (1)
x - y = - 2 → (2)
Substitute x = - 14 + 3y into (2)
- 14 + 3y - y = - 2
- 14 + 2y = - 2 ( add 14 to both sides )
2y = 12 ( divide both sides by 2 )
y = 6
Substitute y = 6 into (1)
x = - 14 + 3(6) = - 14 + 18 = 4
solution is (4, 6 )
