$- 3 x + y = 8$ $- x + y = - 2$

Step 1

Add $3 x$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = 8 + 3 x$

$- x + y = - 2$

Step 2

Add $x$ to both sides of the equation.

$y = - 2 + x$

$y = 8 + 3 x$

Step 3

Create a graph to locate the intersection of the equations. The intersection of the system of equations is the solution.

$(- 5, - 7)$
