    The best way to solve this problem is to plug and chug. it takes up time but is what needs to be done.

    I will tell you though that it isn't (-12,-10)

    Siince 2nd equation is already equal a, subsitute b-2 for a in the other equation

    b-2-3b=28

    -2-2b=28

    add 2 to both sides

    -2b=30

    divide both sides by - 2

    b=-15

    sub back

    a=b-2

    a=-15-2

    a=-17

    (a, b)

    (-17,-15)
