Answer:

(-1, 5)

Explanation:

using substitution method

y = -2x + 3 plug y into second equation

-x + 3y = 16

-x + 3 (-2x + 3) = 16

-x - 6x + 9 = 16

-7x + 9 = 16

-7x = 7

x = -1 now that you know what x equals, plug it into one of the original equations

y = -2 (-1) + 3

y = 2 + 3

y = 5

thus you get the answer (-1, 5)
