Answer 1

Answer:

x=-3, y=-19

Step-by-step explanation:

we can solve by substitution.

y = 2x-1 we can derive from the second equation.

plugging it into the first equation, 2x -3(2x-1) = 15.

simplying, 2x-6x+3 = 15 --> -4x+3 = 15, -4x = 12, x = -3.

now we know x, so we can solve for y by plugging it into one of the equations. --> -3*-6+y = -1

simplify, 18+y = -1 --> y = -19.
