    (5, - 3)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    x + 2y = - 1 → (1)

    x - 3y = 14 → (2)

    Subtracting (2) from (1) term by term will eliminate the term in x, that is

    (x - x) + (2y - ( - 3y)) = ( - 1 - 14)

    5y = - 15 (divide both sides by 5)

    y = - 3

    Substitute y = - 3 into either of the 2 equations

    Substituting into (1)

    x + 2 ( - 3) = - 1

    x - 6 = - 1 (add 6 to both sides)

    x = 5

    Solution is (5, - 3)
