Answer 1

Answer:

(-2,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+3y = 18

2x+y = 4

Multiply the second equation by -3

-3(2x+y) = -3*4

-6x-3y = -12

Add this to the first equation

3x+3y = 18

-6x-3y = -12

-------------------------

-3x = 6

Divide each side by -3

-3x/-3 = 6/-3

x = -2

Now solve for y

2x+y = 4

2(-2) +y = 4

-4+y =4

Add 4 to each side

-4+4+y = 4+4

y =8

Answer 2

Answer:

(-2,8)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 3y = 18 (1)

2x + y = 4 (2)

(1) - 3(2)

3x + 3y = 18

-(6x + 3y = 12)

-3x = 6

x = -2

Using (2)

2(-2) + y = 4

-4 + y = 4

y = 8
