Answer:
(x, y) = (-1, -2)
Step-by-step explanation:
I like a graphing calculator for solving systems of equations. It shows the point of intersection is (-1, -2).

You can add 4 times the second equation to the first:
(2x -4y) +4(3x +y) = (6) +4(-5)
14x = -14 . . . . simplify
x = -1 . . . . . . . divide by 14
Now, you can put this value in the second equation to get ...
3(-1) +y = -5
y = -2 . . . . . . . add 3
The point of intersection is (x, y) = (-1, -2).
