Answer

(7,-14)

Work Step by Step

$3x-2y=49$ $y=-2x$ Substitute -2x for y in the first equation. $3x-2(-2x)=49$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $7x=49$ $\longrightarrow$ divide both sides by 7 $7x\div7=49\div7$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $x=7$ Substitute 7 for x in the second equation. $y=-2(7)$ $\longrightarrow$ simplify $y=-14$
