Answer:
x = -6, y = -2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-7y = 2
3x + y = -20
We need to cancel out either x or y to solve the equation. I'll cancel out x first
3(2x-7y = 2)
-2(3x+y=-20)
___________
6x-21y = 6
-6x -2y = 40
____________
-23y = 46
y = -2
Plug the value for y in one of the 2 equations to solve for x
2x -7(-2) = 2
2x+14=2
2x = -12
x=-6
