The solution for the system of equations is:
$x = - 1, y = - 12$ $color(blue)( x = -1 , y =-12$

Explanation:

$- 3 (5 + x) = y$ $-3(5+x)=y$
$- 15 - 3 x = y$ $-15 -3x = y$
$y + 3 x = - 15$ $y +3x = -15$ ............equation $(1)$ $(1)$

$5 x - 15 = 2 y + 4$ $5x-15=2y+4$
$5 x - 2 y = 4 + 15$ $5x - 2y = 4 +15$
$5 x - 2 y = 19$ $5x - color(blue)(2y) = 19$ ................equation $(2)$ $(2)$

Multiplying equation $(1)$ $(1)$ by $2$ $2$
$y + 3 x = - 15$ $y +3x = -15$
$2 y + 6 x = - 30$ $color(blue)( 2y)+6x = -30$ ...........equation $(3)$ $(3)$
Adding equations $2 and 3$ $2 and 3$ to eliminate $2 y$ $color(blue)(2y)$

$5x - cancelcolor(blue)(2y) = 19$
$cancelcolor(blue)( 2y)+6x = -30$
$11x = -11$
$color(blue)(x = -1$

Substituting $x$ in equation $(1)$ to find $y$ :
$y = -15-3x$
$y = -15-3.(-1)$
$color(blue)(y = -12$
