B)2,-1
C)-2,1
D)2,1

Answer 1

A) -2, -1

Explanation:

It is

Answer 2

A) -2, -1
(solve the second equation for x (subtract 2y to the other side, then divide by 2 so x=-y-3) then plug that equation into the x value of the first equation to get y=-1; plug y=-1 into the second equation to get x=-2)
