The graphs of the straight lines with equations $y - x = 3$ and $2 x + y = 0$ have been drawn on the grid.

A coordinate grid with x and y axes ranging from -5 to 5. Two straight lines are plotted. The first line, y - x = 3, passes through the points (-3, 0), (0, 3), and (1, 4). The second line, 2x + y = 0, passes through the points (-1, 2), (0, 0), and (1, -2). The two lines intersect at the point (-1, 2).

Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous equations

y - x = 3

2 x + y = 0
