    X + 3y = - 1

    -2x - 6y = 2

    These two equations have the same solution because we can see that they are equivalent.

    One way to find out is this:-

    Since x has a + 1 next to it, and the other equation has a (-2) next to the x, we can multiply everything on the first equation by 2 to see if they are equivalent.

    x+3y = - 1

    (-2) * x + 3y*-2 = - 1*-2

    -2x + (-6y) = 2

    -2x-6y=2

    Now we know that both of these equations have the same solution.
