We solve as follows:
-12x - 2y = 30
2(-4x + y = -5)
---------------------
-12x -2y = 30
-8x + 2y = -10
--------------------
-20x = 20 => x = -1
Now we replace the value of x in one of the original equations to solve for y, that is:
-4(-1) + y = -5 => 4 + y = -5 => y = -9
So, the solution is the point (-1, -9).
