    To solve this system of equations, since y is already isolated in both equations, you can set the expressions to equal each other to solve for x:

    -x + 2 = - 5x - 6

    -x + 5x = - 6 - 2

    4x = - 8

    x = - 2

    Now that we have x, we can substitute it into one of the equations to find y:

    y = - (-2) + 2

    y = 2 + 2

    y = 4

    The last step is to substitute both values into both equations to see if they are correct:

    4 = - (-2) + 2 - - > 4 = 2 + 2 <--True

    4 = - 5 (-2) - 6 - - > 4 = 10 - 6 <--True

    Answer:

    x = - 2

    y = 4
