First, let's rearrange the first equation to express \( y \) in terms of \( x \): \[ 6y = -15 - 3x \] Dividing everything by 6 gives us: \[ y = -\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2}x \] Now substitute this expression for \( y \) into the second equation: \[ x + 2\left(-\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2}x\right) = -5 \] Distributing the 2 leads to: \[ x - 5 - x = -5 \] This simplifies to: \[ -5 = -5 \] This indicates that the equations represent the same line, meaning there are infinitely many solutions. Thus, the result is expressed as: **One solution: infinitely many solutions.** A specific ordered pair can be found by choosing any value for \( x \) (e.g., \( x = 0 \)), which leads to \( y = -\frac{5}{2} - 0 = -\frac{5}{2} \). So one particular solution is \( (0, -\frac{5}{2}) \).
