You can  put this solution on YOUR website! Include directions next time you post a problem, thanks. 
add both equations, when you do that the y-term cancels out (adds to zero) 
3x=-3 divide each side by 3 
x=-1 
now I will plug that into the first equations (you can plug in either one) and solve for y 
-1+y=-6 add 1 to each side 
y=-5 
so the solutions is (-1,-5)
