You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if y=2x, than substitute 2x for all y.
The problem would then translate to:
x%2B%283%282x%29%29=-14
Simplified that is
x%2B6x=-14
7x=-14
7x%2F7=-14%2F7
x=-2
If x=-2, than you substitute -2 for all x

-2%2B3y=-14
%2B2++++%2B2
3y=-12
3y%2F3=-12%2F3
y=-4


THE ANSWER IS y=-4 AND x=-2
