Hi
−3𝑥+2𝑦=−6
−2𝑥+ 𝑦=6

−6𝑥+4𝑦=−12
6𝑥 -3𝑦= -18
     y = -30   and x = -18  

 P(-18, -30)  is the solution for this system of equations.
Wish You the Best in your Studies.

Solve these two equations by Elimination −3𝑥+2𝑦=−6; −2𝑥+𝑦=6
− 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = − 6 --- eq (i)
− 2𝑥 + 𝑦 = 6 ------ eq (ii)
To solve this system only ONE of the 2 equations needs to be altered. That one's eq (ii).
4x - 2y = - 12 ------- Multiplying eq (ii) by - 2 ------ eq (iii)
x = - 18 ------------- Adding eqs (iii) & (i)
- 2(- 18) + y = 6 ---- Substituting - 18 for x in eq (ii)
36 + y = 6
y = 6 - 36 = - 30
