Answer:

y = - 21

Step-by-step explanation:

System of equations:

- 6x + 2y = - 18

- 3x - 2y = 54

To find y will look to eliminate x:

- 6x + 2y = - 18

- 3x - 2y = 54   (multiply both sides by -2)

- 6x + 2y = - 18

 6x + 4y = - 108

---------------------------- (add those two equations)

        6y  =  - 126        (divide both sides by 6)

          y  =  - 126/6           (simplify by 6)

           y = - 21
