    Use the subtraction method.

    2 (x - 2y = 15) multiply top equation by 2 so we can subtract

    2x - 4y = 30

    2x + 4y = - 18 (subtracted, we get 4x = 12 ... divide by 4 ... x = 3)

    place the value for X into an original equation and solve for Y.

    2 (3) + 4y = - 18

    6 + 4y = - 18

    -6 - 6

    4y = - 24 (divide by 4)

    y = - 6 Solution ... (3, - 6)
