If you would like to solve the system of equations, you can do this using the following steps:
2x - y = -2
x = 14 + 2y
__________
2x - y = -2
2 (14 + 2y) - y = -2
28 + 4y - y = -2
28 + 3y = -2
3y = -2 - 28
3y = -30 /3
y = -30/3
y = -10
x = 14 + 2y = 14 + 2 (-10) = 14 - 20 = -6
(x, y) = (-6, -10)
The correct result would be (-6, -10).
