    2x - y = 10 ... (a)

    y = - x - 1 ... (b)

    Substitute y = - x - 1 into equation (a)

    2x - y = 10

    2x - (-x - 1) = 10

    2x + x + 1 = 10

    3x + 1 = 10

    3x = 10 - 1

    3x = 9

    x = 9/3 = 3. x = 3

    Recall, y = - x - 1 = - 3 - 1 = - 4

    Hence solution (x, y) = (3, - 4)

    You can plug - x - 1 for y in the first equation

    2x - (-x - 1) = 10

    2x + x + 1 = 10

    Combine

    3x = 9

    Divide

    x = 3

    Plug 3 for x in any equation (I'll use th second equation)

    y = - (3) - 1

    y = - 3 - 1 = - 4

    x = 3; y = - 4

    (3, - 4)
