Answer 2

Answer: $(-4, 3)$

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Add these equations to eliminate y: $2x=-8$

2a) Then solve $2x=-8$ for x: $2x=-8$

2b) Divide both sides by 2:  $\frac{2x}{2} =\frac{-8}{2}$

2c) $x=-4$

3) Substitute $-4$ for $x$ in $x+y=-1$: $-4+y=-1$

4) Simplify both sides of the equation: $y-4=-1$

5) Add 4 to both sides: $y-4+4=-1+4$

6) Simplify: $y=3$

7) Write the point: $(-4, 3)$
