Substitution doesn't work for this, but elimination does.

-6x-8y=-20 +6( x+6y=-6)

-6x-8y=-20 + 6x+36y=-36

-6x and 6x cancel each other, add -8 and 36 to get 28, and -20 and -36 to get -56.

28y=-56

divide by 28 on both sides.

Y= -2

Then substitute y into one of the equations.

x+6(-2)=-6

x-12=-6

x=6

The ordered pair is (6,-2).
