x+4y=-22 -2x-2y=14

x+4y=-22     (1)

 

-2x-2y=14    →   -x - y  = 7   (2)

 

Add (1) and (2)   and we get

 

x+4y=-22

-x - y  = 7

-------------

     3y = - 15        divide both sides by 3     and y = -5

 

And using (2) .......  -x - y = 7  ......   -x - (- 5 ) = 7   ......-x + 5 = 7    ........ -x  =  2  ..........x  =  -2
