  • we have two equations: x - 2y = -2 and 3x - y = 14 There is equality between both equations, so we can subtract any multiple of one equation from either side of the other and maintain equality: Since x -2y = -2, 3x - 6y = -6, and -3x + 6y = 6 from multilpying both sides of the equality by three and negative 1 respectively. adding the left side of this equation to the left side of 3x - y = 14 and 6 to 14, we have 5y = 20 dividing both sides by 5 we have y = 4 from our original equation, x - 8 = -2, so x = 6 in "ordered pair" form I assume this would have the form (6,4) intuitively, what you just did was find the intersection of two non-parallel lines in the x-y plane.
