4x + 3y = -15

2x - 3y = -3

Simultaneous Equations.

Since the coefficient of 'y' is '3' , but of opposite sign, we can add the eq'ns. This will eliminate 'y'

Hence

6x = -18

Divide both sides by '6'

Hence

x = -3

We now substitute this value of 'x' into either eq'n to find 'y' /

Hence

2(-3) -3y = -3

-6 - 3y = -3

-3y = 3

y = -1

Hencethe answer in ( x,y) form is ( -3, -1).
