To solve the given system of equations using the elimination method, we can add the two equations to eliminate the variable "y". Let's perform the addition:

(3x + y) + (-2x - y) = -14 + 9

Simplifying the equation, we have:

3x + (-2x) + y + (-y) = -5

The y terms cancel out (-y + y = 0), and the x terms combine:

3x - 2x = x

Therefore, we have:

x = -5

Now that we have found the value of x, we...
