Solve by elimination:

2x - 3y = - 6

-2x - 2y = 26,

x=-9, y=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-3y=-6 ... (1)

-2x-2y=26 ... (2)

To solve we will have to eliminate one of the given variables, the variable to be eliminated is x

And it can be done by adding up (1) and (2)

It gives

-5y=20

Divide both sides by-5

y=-4

Then substitute the value of y into (1)

2x-3 (-4) = -6

2x+12=-6

Substrate 12 from both sides

2x=-18

Divide both sides by 2

x=-9

Therefore x gives - 9 and y gives-4
