Solve the system of equations:
3x + y = -7
x - y = -5

METHOD: Solve the second equation for x, then plug that into the first equation. Simplify to solve for y, then solve for x.

Solve second equation for x:
x - y = -5
x = y - 5

Plug result into first equation:
3x + y = -7
3(y - 5) + y = -7
3y - 15 + y = -7
4y - 15 = -7
4y = 8
y = 2
