We can solve this system by substitution:
x-y=3, From this equation we get x=3+y
2x-y=-1, Substituting in the second equation we get 2(3+y)-y=-1,
solving 6+2y-y=-1, y=-1-6, y=-7,
And replacing the obtained value in the equation x=3+y, we obtain x=3+(-7),
x=-4
The solutions to the system are x=-4, y=-7.
