Answer:

-4,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the system of equations, I can't see any way to add the equations together to eliminate a variable. So, I decided to use substitution. First, I created 2 new equations, x = -24 - 4y and Y=2X+3 by rewriting each equation to solve for x and y. Now, I can take one of these equations and insert it in the opposite equation and solve for a variable.

4(-24 - 4y) - 2y = -6

-96 -16y -2y = -6

-18y = 90

y = -5

Now, I can just insert this in one of my equations and solve for x, and get my solution, which gets me x = -4
