First, multiply both sides of -x=-22-2y by negative 1 to get x=22%2B2y


-2y=-6x%2B62 Start with the first equation.


-2y=-6%2822%2B2y%29%2B62 Plug in x=22%2B2y


-2y=-132-12y%2B62 Distribute.


-2y=-12y-70 Combine like terms on the right side.


-2y%2B12y=-70 Add 12y to both sides.


10y=-70 Combine like terms on the left side.


y=%28-70%29%2F%2810%29 Divide both sides by 10 to isolate y.


y=-7 Reduce.

-----------------------------------

x=22%2B2y Go back to the second equation


x=22%2B2%28-7%29 Plug in y=-7


x=22-14 Multiply


x=8 Combine like terms.



===========================================
Answer:


So the solutions are x=8 and y=-7.


Which form the ordered pair .
