Answer:

Answer (d):  (5, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use the substitution method.  Eliminate "x" in the second equation.  Solving the first equation for x, we get  x = -3y - 1.  Subbing this for x in the second equation, we get:

2(-3y - 1) + 2y = 6, or, after multiplying as indicated,

-6y - 2 + 2y = 6.

Combining like terms,

-4y = 8, so that y = -2.  If y = -2, then x is found from x = -3y - 1 (see above):

x = -3(-2) -1 = 5

Then the solution is (5, -2)  (Answer d)
