To solve the system of equations, we can substitute the value of y from the second equation into the first equation:
2x + 3x + 2 = -4
5x + 2 = -4
5x = -6
x = -6/5
Now, we can substitute this value of x back into the second equation to find the value of y:
y = 3(-6/5) + 2
y = -18/5 + 2
y = -18/5 + 10/5
y = -8/5
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -6/5 and y = -8/5.
So, the answer is option a: negative 6 over 5, negative 8 over 5.
