    its simple,
    given,
    y=6-x --------- be eq(1).
    2x-3y=22 ---------be eq(2).

    now substitute y in eq(2)
    i.e, 2x-3(6-x)=22
    :- 2x-18+3x=22
    :- 5x=40
    :- x=8.
    now substituting the x value in eq.(1) to get the value of y.
    i.e, y=6-8
    ==== y=2.
    therefore by solving the equations we get
    x = 8 and y = 2.

    Actually 6 minus 8 equals negative 2.
