Answer:

17

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the 2nd equation, it seems that x=-3-3y.  I got that by subtracting both sides by 6y and then dividing both sides by 2.  Now  substitute that in place of x in the first equation.  (-3-3y)/3-2y=14.  Simplify that and get               -1-y-2y=14.  Add 1 to both sides and simplify.  You get -3y=15.  Divide both sides by -3 and get y=-5.  Now substitute -5 into the equation for x. x=-3-3(-5)

x=-3+15=12

So x=12 and y=-5.  Now do 12-(-5)=12+5=17
