add the equations

x = -2

and so y = -2 too

3x+y=-8 or y = -3x - 8
-2x-y=6
substitute first equation into second equation:
-2x - (-3x - 8) = 6
-2x + 3x + 8 = 6
x = -2
using first equation:
y = -3(-2) - 8 = -2
check using second equation:
-2(-2) - (-2) = 6 checks
x = -2, y = -2

3x+y=-8
-2x-y=6
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

-y= 2x+6
y= -2x-6

Substitute this value for y into equation 1 to find x

3x+y=-8
3x -2x-6=-8
x = 8+6
x= 14
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Substitute this value for x into equation 2 to find y

-2x-y=6
-2(14) -y=6
-28 -y=6
-y= 28+6
-y= 34
y= -34

( 14,-34)

isolate y in one of the equations so say in the first one: y= -3x-8 and then sub that into the second one where y is and solve for x and once you get x, sub the x into the first equation and solve for y :)

-2x-y =6
-2x-6= y
sub into formula 1

3x + (-2x-6) = -8
3x -2x-6 = -8
x=-8+6
x= -2

Solve for y
y= -2x - 6
y= -2(-2) - 6
y = 4 -6
y = -2

(-2,-2)

Make -2x-y=6 move to just y=-2x+6 then plug that into the first equation 3x+(-2x+6)=-8 then solve for the variables
