Quality Control: Verifying System Constraints

A Quality Control Analyst is auditing a data model represented by the system of constraints: {x−y=−1,;2x−y=−5}\{x - y = -1, ; 2x - y = -5\}. To verify if the data point (−2,−1)(-2, -1) is a valid solution, the analyst substitutes it into the second equation, 2x−y=−52x - y = -5.

What is the specific numerical result obtained on the left side of the second equation after substitution, and based on the definition of a solution to a system, why does this result mean the point is NOT a solution?
