I don't exactly understand what you mean by "the base line of the  
system" (the middle of the brace?), but here is a try:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
A system:
$\left\lbrace
	\begin{aligned}
		x + y &= 2\\
		x + 2y &= -1
	\end{aligned}
\right.$
\end{document}

HTH,
