[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The system of equations is:

x + y = -3
y = 2x + 2

Substitute the second equation into the first equation:

x + 2x + 2 = -3
3x + 2 = -3
3x = -5
x = -5/3

Now, substitute x = -5/3 back into the second equation to solve for y:

y = 2(-5/3) + 2
y = -10/3 + 2
y = -10/3 + 6/3
y = -4/3

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -5/3 and y = -4/3.

The correct answer from the list of options would be:
C. (-5/3, -4/3)
