Lets name the equation
2x-y=4 ----------- 1
6x+3y=-18 ----------- 2
---------------------------
From equation 1
y=2x-4 ----------- 3
---------------------------
Subsititue equation 3 into equation 2
6x+3(2x-4)=-18
6x+6x-12=-18
12x=-6
x=-1%2F2
---------------------------
Subsititue x into equation 3
y=2%28-1%2F2%29-4
=-1-4
=-5
-----------------------------
