Answer:

-3 and -4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1st number

y = 2nd number

set up system of equations:

2x + 3y = -18

3x + 2y = -17

elimination method:  multiply 1st equation by -2 and second by 3

 -4x - 6y = 36

+

<u>  9x + 6y = -51</u>

  5x = -15

   x = -3

find y:  2(-3) + 3y = -18

           -6 + 3y = -18

            3y = -12

             y = -4
