X is not more than -2.5

The answer is 4 points

2x + 3y = 114x + 2y = - 2 ( original equation x -1)4x + 6y = 22 ( original equation x 2)- 4x + 2y = - 2= 4y = 24÷4y = 62x + 18 = 11-182x = - 7÷2x = - 3.5

You move the constant to the right side and change its sign to be 9z= -6 -8. that’s the first step.the second step would be calculate the difference of -8-6 to get -14. you equation should now be 9z=-14the last step is to divide both sides by 9 to get z=-14/9hope this
