$x = 0 and y = - 2$ $x=0 and y=-2$

Multiply the second equation by $3$ $3$ on both sides of the equation:

So:

$2 x - 3 y = 6$ $2x-3y=6$
$3 x + 3 y = - 6$ $3x+3y=-6$

Add equals to equals:

$5 x = 0$ $5x=0$

Solve for $x$ $x$

$x = 0$ $x=0$

Replace $x$ $x$ with $0$ $0$ in either equation:

$2 (0) - 3 y = 6$ $2(0)-3y=6$

Solve for $y$ $y$ :

$- 3 y = 6$ $-3y=6$
$y = - 2$ $y=-2$

So $x = 0 and y = - 2$ $x=0 and y=-2$
