3x+%2B+y+=+-26....eq.1
2x+-+y+=+-19....eq.2
----------------------------------add both
3x+%2B+y+%2B2x+-+y+=+-26-19
3x+%2B+cross%28y%29+%2B2x+-+cross%28y%29+=+-26-19
3x++%2B2x++=+-45
5x++=+-45
x++=+-45%2F5
highlight%28x++=+-9%29

go to 3x+%2B+y+=+-26....eq.1, plug in x value
3%28-9%29+%2B+y+=+-26....solve for y
-27+%2B+y+=+-26
+y+=+27-26
+highlight%28y+=+1%29

solution: intersection point at (+-9,+1)
