x = 6 2/3
y = -24 2/3

Explanation:

You have 2 equations:
x+y = -18
-14x-3y=-18

Solve for y in each(so we can input it into our calculator)

x+y = -18

y = -18-x

and

-14x-3y=-18

-3y = -18+14x

y(-3) =14x-18

y = (14x-18)/(-3)

Graph the two equations:
y = (14x-18)/(-3)

y = -18-x

The intersection point of these two lines is our answer.
