Looking at this, I think the easiest (personally) way to solve it would be using the Substitution method.
Meaning we have to rearrange ONE equation, to make ONE variable ( x or y) the subject.
(1)  2.5x + y = -2
(2)  3x +2y = 0

The first equation is the easiest to rearrange. Make Y the subject for (1).
Thus,
y = -2.5x - 2
Substitute this into equation (2).
∴ 3x + 2(-2.5x - 2) = 0
Expand and simplify:
3x - 5x - 4 = 0
∴ -2x - 4 = 0
Making x the subject:
-2x = 4
x = -2
From here, we need to substitute x=-2 into equation (1) or (2) to solve for the y-value. I would say the easiest way, would be to rearrange one, to make y the subject, which was what we did earlier.
Thus,
y = -2.5x - 2
y = ((-2.5(-2) -2)
y = 3
(X,Y) x = -2, y = 3
Answer: (-2,3)

I hope you followed through.

Answer:

D. desire to surprise his friend and his friend’s failure to recognize him

Explanation:

Answer D

Correct. In these sentences, the author presents a humorous reversal that emerges from the ironic incongruity between the traveler’s plan to “overpower” his old friend with an excess of pleasure and the anticlimactic outcome of the surprise visit. As it turns out, the friend experiences no immediate pleasure from the visit because he fails to recognize the traveler and can only be made to remember him after the traveler gives a “gradual (in this context, methodical) explanation” of who he is.
