Solve for (x,y) in the system of operations.
2x + y = -7
x = 4 + 2y
Collect the terms in x and y on the same side:
2x + y = -7 (1)
x - 2y = 4 (2)
Multiply the first equation by 2
4x + 2y = -14 (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term:
5x = -10
so x = -2
Substitute this back into (1)
2*(-2) + y = -7
-4 + y = - 7
y = -3
