Answer:
(-1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
I have taken the liberty of rewriting your post:
2x+3y=−11y=x−2
y=x−2
as:
2x+3y= −11
y=x−2
In the first equation, substitute x - 2 for y, obtaining:
2x + 3(x - 2) = -11
Performing the indicated multiplication yields:
2x + 3x - 6 = -11
Combining like terms yields:
5x = -5
Solving for x: x = -5/5 = -1
Knowing that x = 1, we can now find y from the second equation:
y = (-1) - 2 = -3
Then the solution is (-1, -3).
