SOLUTION: I need help with this: Solve these equations by addition. 2x + y = -2 x + y = 5 The lines intersect at(?,?). it's not (3,-8) or (3,2). thank you

Question 256398: I need help with this:
Solve these equations by addition.
2x + y = -2
x + y = 5
The lines intersect at(?,?).
it's not (3,-8) or (3,2).
thank you

2x + y = -2 multiply by -1 & add.
x+y=5
-2x-y=2
----------------------
-x=7
x=-7 ans.
2*-7+y=-2
-14+y=-2
y=-2+14
y=12 ans.
(-7,12) is the intersection.
Proof:
-7+12=5
5=5
