Answer:

  one solution: (x, y) = (-8, -7)

Step-by-step explanation:

We can add 6 times the first equation to the second equation in order to eliminate y.

  6(x -y) +(4x +6y) = 6(-1) +(-74)

  10x = -80

  x = -8

  y = x+1 = -7 . . . . . solve the first equation for y; substitute x

The one solution is (x, y) = (-8, -7).
