Answer:

x=-2, y=3

Step-by-step explanation:

make it easy first, solve for x in the second equation: x= -5+y.

then sub that in for the other x: 2(-5+y)+y= -1

now combine like terms: -10+3y= -1

solve for y: 3y=9, y= 3

then replace y for your second equation: x-3= -5

solve for x= -5+3.... so then its -2

check by replacing all variables with your new solutions:

2(-2), which is -4+3 does equal -1

(-2) -3 does equal -5.

your answers are x=-2, y=3
