Answer:
[2] x = -5y - 4
// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]
[1] 2•(-5y-4) - 5y = 22
[1] - 15y = 30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable y
[1] 15y = - 30
[1] y = - 2
// By now we know this much :
x = -5y-4
y = -2
// Use the y value to solve for x
x = -5(-2)-4 = 6
Solution :
{x,y} = {6,-2}
